If you're black in this country, if you're a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?

More quotes by Cher
Performers love to perform - that's the thing that we do. I think one of the best things was being able to imagine anything that I wanted, anything that I came up with we could do, because this theater is unbelievable.
Cher
I want to be really special, I want to be really good. It's not enough to be famous for me. Famous is empty so quickly, it's not what people think it is. It's wonderful, but if you're famous and you feel that you're an artist inside and everyone thinks you're just a celebrity, it's really painful.
Cher
I never read in school. I got really bad grades-D's and F's and C's in some classes, and A's and B's in other classes. In the second week of the 11th grade, I just quit. When I was in school, it was really difficult. Almost everything I learned, I had to learn by listening. My report cards always said that I was not living up to my potential.
Cher
So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all, but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair-ew!-and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so.
Cher
I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy.
Cher
I'm just the worst little Buddhist in town.
Cher
I really don't think of myself as a singer. I think of myself as an entertainer, and the best place I do it is onstage.
Cher
I would have gone home to my mother, but I'm not that crazy about my mother.
Cher
I am the girl who everyone said was never going anywhere. I guess I shocked a few people.
Cher
Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex.
Cher
I just don't understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can't figure it. I don't understand. If you're poor, if you're any kind of minority - gay, black, Latino, anything. If you're not a rich born-again-Christian, I don't get it.
Cher
I've never compromised who I am not ever. If I've gotten anywhere in my life it's been on my own merits.
Cher
Living your life the way you want to live it is the most important thing so if you have to pay small prices along the way, it's not important.
Cher
I'm insecure about everything, because I'm never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I'd like to look like.
Cher
I never cared about money. I'm not destined to be a rich woman. I'm destined to be a woman who makes a lot of money and never has any. I've made millions and millions and millions of dollars and I just spend it.
Cher
Don't take your toys inside just because it's raining.
Cher
Going hungry never bothered me - it was having no clothes.
Cher
In my personal life I'm not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man's world, I'm really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I'm willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.
Cher
Younger men are more supportive and a lot less demanding, and they also have more time for their relationships.
Cher
Some years I'm the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone's so over me, and I'm just so past my sell date.
Cher
