3. Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey

Gayle on Oprah: "We became friends that first night because for the first time, I met somebody who I felt was like me."
Oprah on Gayle: "I understand why people think we're gay. There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it — how can you be this close without it being sexual? How else can you explain a level of intimacy where someone always loves you, always respects you, admires you, wants the best for you, wants the best for you in every single situation of your life, lifts you up, supports you always? That's an incredibly rare thing between even the closest of friends."

5. Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz

Drew on Cameron: "Cameron Diaz is one of the greatest friends anyone can ever have. She has so much love to give. We also support each other through the bad times. I've always felt like she's my big sister, but at the same time I know that sometimes I'm wiser and a bit less naive than she is. We just spend so much time having fun and laughing together. That's what true friendship is about."
Cameron on Drew: "She has the most amazing heart. She is one of my closest girlfriends, but the way she loves the people around her is really special. She is so giving of herself and so accepting of others. She has created this community for herself. She didn't really have a strong family, so friends are her family. She really loves on that level of just unconditional love. And her friends around her love her in that way as well. She is one big heart, Drew! She doesn't even wear it on her sleeve; it's like she is just a heart."

Salma on Penélope: "Penélope is a motherly creature, a warrior by nature. I told her that little boy [her son Leo] is the luckiest boy in the world."
Penélope on Salma: "She's one of my best friends. We call each other huevos [eggs]. It was because when we were working together, we didn't have children yet, so we used to sleep much more than now. So it was a way to call each other lazy."

13. Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift

Selena on Taylor: "Taylor has such a beautiful way of bringing people together. That was good for me, because the more I started working, the more uncomfortable I was. I wouldn't trust people, and Taylor has a way of stripping down everything and just getting down to being human. I love that."
Taylor on Selena: "It's been the longest [friendship] I think either of us had really . . . longevity is something you really can find very precious and rare in friendships."
