Ashley Tisdale Quotes

The thing is, relationships never work out... until they do. You learn a lot from relationships that don't work out.

I've been in therapy. I know enough about myself now to know that I really don't need to know anymore.

I was a self-centered bore. I was masochistic, and only thought I was happy. When I woke up and said, "there must be something wrong with me", I grew up.

Know yourself to improve yourself.

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me.

Women, the way I see it, are very evolved people. They're more mature, they're more aware of their feelings, in touch with their feelings. They're connected to things that matter more in life.
