I am so stereotyped into being this Hollywood girl.

Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.

If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

Take and chance and don't ever look back. Never have regrets, just lessons learned.

I love the sun but don't have the time to get a good tan and keep it year-round, so I am a huge fan of tanning products.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

Small changes in thought can bring massive changes in life.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

I always think it's interesting to dig a little bit deeper every time you go to someplace that seems like a revelation or a strong connection to an emotional truth.

How could I live without powder?

It is true that I am of an older fashion; much that I love has been destroyed or sent into exile.

Now there is in a way a renaissance of modern dance - suddenly, it is more respected and discovered.

Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.

Whatever religion we are, we must pray together.

I am sharing my faith with my sons. I pray, meditate and read devotionally. But let me be clear: I am a "person of faith" not because I am a saint, but because I am a sinner.

I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.
