Quotations

There are 550 years of Renaldi's on these walls, and I will be up there next to my father.

This is so COOL!

I have my own mall!

[to Andrew, laughing] Who knew you'd be clumsier than me?

Andrew, could you try to talk without moving your lips? The lip-readers have binoculars.

[after Andrew gives her an engagement ring] Do I have to put it on myself?

To be a princess, you've got to believe that you're a princess. You've gotta walk the way you think a princess should walk, so think tall, smile and wave, and just have fun.

[speaking about the summer palace] Well, I'm going to de-perk it and turn it into a children's shelter.

[to her grandmother] Just because I didn't get my fairytale ending doesn't mean you shouldn't.
