And more so now, since having a family - I don't seek out any other acceptance.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!

My experiences remind me that it's those black clouds that make the blue skies even more beautiful.

I'm very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I'm that cookie-cutter. I don't live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there's no paparazzi there.

I never said I was a 'good girl.' I'm not a bad girl.

People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I'm blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun.

God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress.

I'm a hygiene freak. I'm like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.

Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it.

Everything changes, but beauty remains.

I've never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

I imagine, therefore I am.

He had forgotten how to soar upon the wings of his soul...

Little with love is better than much without love.

You do so much for me, my friend. I am truly blessed to have the friendship of someone as amazing as you. You are part of my life.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge I believe everything will work out for the best in the end.

Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.

I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I've known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.

I will not refuse to do the something I can do.

Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

If you do weave one-liners into a story, you have to have an overall story as well, otherwise it doesn't really count as narrative.
