Kelly Osbourne quotes: on removing the silver spoon from her mouth, bouncing back from drug addiction, getting in shape, and more.
“If you haven’t felt like quitting, your dreams aren’t big enough!”
“You’ve got to find the humor in absolutely everything because laughter is not only the best medicine, but it’s the best survival skill too.”
“I’m really big on speaking up when something isn’t working for you, because not speaking up when things bother you can lead to resentment, and resentment can take you to dark places. It’s important to know and accept your limitations.”
“There’s always going to be someone prettier, smarter, funnier, better than you – something – but you’re you. And no one can take that away from you. Every single person in this world is unique and special and worth something. You can become anything you want to.”
“Sometimes it’s other people’s voices you have to shut out.”
“I’m not good to anyone unless I’m good.”
“My parents were very smart with how they raised me. Back in the days before cell phones, we had beepers. I wanted one and my mom said, ‘You want one, you go get a job and you pay for it yourself.’ So I’ve had a job and been self-sufficient outside of my parents. I’ve had a job since I was 13. I’ve been self-sufficient outside of my parents since I was 15. My parents taught us, ‘You want something, you work for it.'”
“When you’re a celebrity’s kid you have to prove yourself 10 times over. Because you have to prove it’s not just handed to you and you have to gain the respect to prove that you are hardworking and don’t think you’re better than everyone else.”
“People think they get to do all of these fabulous things and yes, we do, but anywhere there is fabulousness, it attracts sh*t. And there’s a lot more sh*t in this industry than there is fabulousness.”
“I say find one true friend to help you get through the tough times.”
“What you have to remember is that everyone else is also on their own personal journey, so you might get to a point where suddenly you look at your relationship with someone and realize you’re trying to hold on to something that’s just not there anymore. Friendships fade, but the fact that it happens doesn’t make it hurt less.”
“I feel good in my own skin because I’ve accepted the fact that I’m me. That’s what’s so great about being alive and being on this planet: everybody’s different.”
“I took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict. I will never understand that.”
“I can’t lie, I did a lot of really, really stupid things, and it was because it was my way of crying for help.”
“Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don’t recognize our own beauty because we’re too busy comparing ourselves to other people.”
“It’s true what they say: diet and exercise do work! I never thought in a million years, I’d be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise. After being called cherubic and chubby, I’m rocking a bikini!”
“If you want to lose weight for good, you need to make a commitment to a life change. You have to say, ‘I’m just not going to eat that anymore. I’m going to change my bad habits.’ Otherwise, you’ll spend the rest of your life yo-yoing and you’ll be miserable. By no means is it easy. Getting in shape is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.”
“I’ve learned that all you can be in this world is you. No matter how much you mess with yourself, with surgery or you know, clothes or cut your hair differently or how much you wish and pray and dream that you’re gonna wake up as someone else, it’s never gonna happen. You have one life and one opportunity, and all you can be is the best you.”
“When I was 18, I thought I knew everything and I’ve started to realize that I don’t know sh*t. But I’ve been given so many opportunities, I’ve worked so hard throughout the 10 years I’ve been doing this now, I will be damned if I f*ck it up because of my bad attitude.”
“I don’t want to have a life where I don’t have a reason to get out of bed every morning.”
“I have accepted the fact that – and I know I have said this throughout my whole life, but I really understand it now – that I am not perfect and I am never going to be and I don’t want to be.”
“I’ve learned that no amount of therapy or medication is going to work unless you want it to. Until you want to be a good person, you will never be one.”
“The only thing I perfectly believe in is myself, although I’m not perfect, I constantly make mistakes.”
“I’m famous, I was born famous. I didn’t really get a choice in the matter. I have problems too and any of the problems I’ve had I’ll share with you – that way you won’t feel alone. And that way you’ll know someone else out there has been through it too. And I hope that people get something out of the mistakes I’ve made. And the fact that love in our family is what kept us together and kept us going. People stop caring about other people and people stop remembering that love is what’s most important.”
“I am so empathic and loyal to my own detriment. When I feel like somebody is sad I can feel it when they hug me. I want to do everything I can to make them not feel sad. Because feeling sad, lonely and not good enough are the worst feelings in the world. I know what that feels like to feel like that every day. And I wish I could take that from people.”
“At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter, what matters is that you are having fun. Are you happy doing what you do? At the end of the day someone is going to look better than you… or got something you didn’t… just go out and have fun.”
“It is about having fun and celebrating the achievements.”
“I am in a great place.”
“I still don’t know who the f*ck I am or what the f*ck I want, but I can wholeheartedly confess that I’m finally at peace with myself and truly starting to understand what true happiness is. I’m sorry if I let anyone down – it was just time for me to work on me! I love you guys!”
“I can’t even put into words how much my life has changed. To the friends and family that have supported me on this journey, thank you and I love you all so much.”
