Boy, how time flies. It seems like just yesterday Candace Cameron-Bure was schooling us on the art of mall bangs and strong-arming her sisters as D.J. Tanner on Full House. Today, she turns 40. Can we get an Uncle Jesse "Have mercy?" up in here?We get that not everyone will agree with Cameron-Bure's conservative comments as a panelist on The View. Her chipmunk-cheeked alter ego, however, was full of solid soundbites. Any girl rad enough to have Kimmy Gibler as a best friend had to have known what she was doing, right?
In honor of Cameron-Bure's 40th birthday, we're digging up some of D.J.'s best quotes. Grab your scrunchie and read on as we investigate the world according to Donna Jo.
On Being Unpopular:
"I wasn't eating by myself. I was eating alone. There's a big difference."
On Frenemies:
"I can't believe you'd rather be friends with girls who really aren't your friends than friends with a friend who already was your friend."
On Sisterly Torture:
"If you can't have fun with your little sister, then what's the point in having one?"
On Looking On The Bright Side:
"I think of the things that we do have that other people don't have."
On Doing The Right Thing:
"You ever hear that little voice inside your head saying, 'This is wrong'"?
On Love:
"Okay, I like him a lot — but only if he likes me."
On Beauty:
"We don't play makeup, we wear makeup."
On Friendship:
"I want to be your friend, but friends need to tell each other the truth."
On Setting Boundaries:
"Rule #1: Never touch my stuff. Rule #2: Never set foot on my half of the room."
On Facing Your Fears:
"Steph, you can't run away every time you're scared. If you don't try new things, you'll never know what you're missing out on."
