Aesthetically, I don't really like the blond, tan thing. I am pale. So I may as well embrace the pale. Long, blond hair and a bad spray tan is the stuff of my nightmares.

I tend not to wear accessories. I'm not one of those gals with a drawerful of amazing jewelry. I don't even have my ears pierced! But I have one bracelet that never comes off my wrist.

We live in a world of instant gratification, the world of the quick fix.

An inspiring word for me is to think of myself as limitless.

I can see my ghost trying to get that Academy Award, forever stuck in a casting office. Can you imagine? I've spent enough time in audition rooms. I don't want to be doing that in my afterlife.

I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don't think it's complicated.

Too often, our concept of pastors and church leaders reinforces rather than obliterates the sad state of family life in our current context.

Believe in yourself. Determined to pursue your goals.

But the fact is, nobody gets off drugs unless they really want to, and I really wanted to.

It is not yoga that injures, but the way one does yoga that leads to injury.

You can't change anyone else but people do change in relationship to your change. All relationships are a system, and when any one part of a system changes, it affects the other part.

Tiffany and I are great friends, and I appreciate all that she is doing for me now. But she is not you. I still love you, Nikki. And you can’t control or alter true love.

...You can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back.

I wanted to write a story that was different than what I've done before - so I decided to write dual love stories that will keep the reader wondering how the stories will come together by the end.
