Art is art. Television has elevated itself, in certain ways, but it's always pushed people's consciousness.

I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it's important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.

My sheets are monogrammed, so is my silverware and pretty much everything else I own. My rule is, if it's not moving -- monogram it!

We’re more than just our dresses.

It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.

My rule is, if it's not moving-monogram it!

I adopted a healthier diet. I take at least a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar a day. It's an old wives' tale, but it really is one of the best things you can put in your mouth.

Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you.

Our system here of creating value for others and having people do the right thing, exchange information, and so on only works if people have the right values.

Man must be associated with his fellows.

When you acknowledge that there is nothing repulsive or unforgivable or shameful about yourself, it becomes easier to be that authentic person and feel like you're living a less performed life.

I follow four dictates: face it, accept it, deal with it, then let it go.

I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.
