They say you can't turn a bad girl good
But once a good girl's gone bad, she's gone forever

My mind is weak these days and my memory isn't as good as it used to be. But if I recollect correctly, this woman you talk about has a reputation as a bad girl

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

The publicity I have been getting, a good deal of which is untrue, and the rest of it ill considered, has done me more harm than good. The only way you get on in this profession is to have the reputation of doing what you are told as thoroughly as possible. So far I have been able to accomplish that, and I believe I have gotten quite a reputation from not kicking at peculiar assignments.

I am only after people who hurt my reputation. They have talked bad about me already. They believe I am bad, so, I am showing them how bad I can be. Other people are involved, in fact, plenty. I have revealed a bit but the rest they can read in my book.

In some areas of life, your reputation is defined by your wins.

• Creative pursuits. One bestseller or hit song can erase the memory of the ones that didn't work.
• Entrepreneurship. People rarely remember your failed business ideas, only your winning ones.

In areas like these, your mistakes fade away and the breakthroughs last. But in other areas of life, your reputation is defined by your losses.

• Crime. You can drive safely 364 days a year, but one DUI changes everything.
• Ethics and morals. One unethical decision can ruin a reputation and destroy trust.

In areas like these, your mistakes linger and consistency is rewarded.

Some areas of life reward your best day. Others punish your worst day. <br/>Know which situation you're in, and you can better decide when to be risky and when to play it safe.

I've always had a reputation as the pretty girl. Pretty girls rarely get the good parts. We all have to do a film like The Burning Bed where we can really be degraded so that people think we can act.

Our reputation has been hurt very badly in the last few years. We've had a go-it-alone mentality in a world where because of communications and transportation, you should be going exactly in the other direction.

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.

Somehow it is only when you dont care about your reputation that you tend to have a good one.

It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, but you can lose it in a minute.

My reputation follows me around,
Just makes me wanna give them more to talk about.
Let’s go to town for a little while,
I’ll be wearing nothin' but a tattoo and a smile.<p>Ain’t no use in tryin' to slow me down,
‘Cause you’re runnin' with the fastest girl in town.
Ain’t ya, baby?
You're kinda crazy.

How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made!

somehow it is only when you don’t care about your reputation that you tend to have a good one.
