The Princess Diaries

"I cant be a princess! Im still waiting for the normal body parts to arrive!"

"You know, most kids hope for a car for their 16th birthday, not a country!"

"Morning, Lily! [looks at Mia] Lily’s friend."

"(At the Genovian Independence Day Ball) Hi, um... hello. Im Mia. Um, it stopped raining! Im really no good at speech-making. Normally I get so nervous that I faint or run away, or sometimes I even get sick. But you really didnt need to know that... but Im not so afraid anymore. See, my father helped me. Earlier this evening, I had every intention of giving up my claim to the throne. And my mother helped me, by telling me it was ok, and by supporting me like she has my entire life. But then I wondered how Id feel after abdicating my role as Princess of Genovia. Would I feel relieved, or would I feel sad? And then I realized how many stupid times a day I use the word I. And probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when theres like seven billion other people out there on the planet, and... sorry, Im going too fast. But then I thought, if I cared about the other seven billion out there, instead of just me, thats probably a much better use of my time. See, if I were Princess of Genovia, then my thoughts and the thoughts of people smarter than me would be much better heard, and just maybe those thoughts could be turned into actions. So this morning when I woke up, I was Mia Thermopolis. But now I choose to be forevermore, Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia."

"[the cheerleaders freak out when a baseball bounces their way] Oh, come on, girls! Its a ball, not a snake. Back in formation!"

"[to her cat, Fat Louie] You are so lucky you dont know who your parents are."

"Me? A... A princess? Shut... up!!!"

"Tell me, how does my mother, or any person for that matter, go into a parent/teacher conference and come out with a date?"

"[sitting in her broken-down car, in the rain] Is this punishment for driving without a licensed driver in the front seat?! [sobs and collapses across the front seat] I am invisible... and I am wet."

"No one can quit being who they really are, not even a princess. Now, you can refuse the job, but you are a princess by birth."

"I dont want to rule my own country, I just want to pass the tenth grade."

"Please dont crush my soy nuts."
