Adriana Trigiani Quotes

Each person is a V.S.P. (a Very Special Person) because we are each created in the image of God.

You are the only you. That means you don't lose roles to anybody else. There's no competition, so they either want you or they don't want you, and it's not that they wanted someone else over you.

You're special-not because of what you have. You're special because of who you are.

I'm tired of pretending I'm not special.

From the very beginning you are being told to compare yourself with others. This is the greatest disease; it is like a cancer that goes on destroying your very soul because each individual is unique, and comparison is not possible. I am just myself and you are just yourself. There is nobody else in the world you can be compared with.

I don't mind not being cool.

Do you know the only value life has is what life puts on itself?

At the end of the day, I'm talented, and there's only one Lil Mama.

Being confident is the key to life. Don't be afraid to be you! I'm super different from a lot of kids my age with style and personality, and I'm OK with it. And if you are OK with it, everyone else will be, too. Just be yourself.

What you have, what you are - your looks, your personality, your way of thinking - is unique. No one in the world is like you. So capitalize on it.

Everybody is somebody, so you don't have to introduce anybody.

I think pop culture underestimates people. The message is, 'Being yourself is the worst thing you could possibly be.' But people are still attracted to it.

I'm not that beautiful, and I don't want to be a pop star.

Whenever someone says I'm the next Oprah, I always respond, 'Child, there's only one Mahogany, and only one Oprah.' There are no others.

Don't worry what people say or what people think. Be yourself.

I don't think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.

I am the way I am. If you like me because I'm glamorous, so be it. If you like me, because I speak well or I have a brain and opinion, so be it.

It's all about confidence and how you feel about yourself. There's no such thing as a perfect woman. I like imperfections - that's what makes you unique.

I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I'd rather be imperfect than perfect.

I'm okay with having bad dance moves. I'm okay with having horrible lower teeth. That's what makes me me, and for some reason it's worked out all right.

The thing that you think is imperfect about you is the thing that makes you who you are. It separates you from everybody else. I have a scar on my lip, and for years I hated it. But now its become my thing. It's like, without it, I'm not me. You can't be perfect, so enjoy your imperfections. I can't stress that enough.

I just want girls to realize, everybody's born a way for a reason, and you are who you are. You should just be yourself at all times. The only way you're going to get through life, happily, is being yourself.
