Academics were important to my parents, as immigrants. Education is where it all begins.

I'm glad folks think I look different, I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows.

Goodness in other people and what they contribute inspire me. I love it when someone is gifted and shares it in some way so that it has a trickle-down effect.

I like to have nice conversations with a man that teach me something, make me mad, make me curious. Then I find him attractive.

I believe in love, but I don't sit around waiting for it. I buy houses.

I'm not single, I'm busy. That's my line.

Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at 'hello'.

I remember just lying in the grass, staring at the clouds, wondering where they drifted off to after they floated over Texas.

Sometimes I wake up at night and go, 'Oh, damn! Here we go again! What were they thinking? They gave me this role; don't they know I'm faking it?

Deep down, I'm a Texas girl looking for that big romance every girl dreams about. Biologically, I look forward to being a cornerstone of a family. I'll be in my glory when I have a child on my knee.

I’m glad I see with my eyes and not the pages I’ve read.

[Bob] Dylan's broken-heart songs are so much better. Like "Simple Twist of Fate".

I'm not the biggest comic book fan.

We owe it to our kids to inform them and train them how to think, not what to think.

The world is divided into two classes - invalids and nurses.

I think, at the end of the day, the real antagonist is the brokenness of humanity.

Tequila. Straight. There's a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit.

Fasting is a medicine.

What you see determines how you interpret the world, which in turn influences what you expect of the world and how you expect the story of your life to unfold.
