I don't really read books. Wish I did.

If you haven't got love, you've got nothing.

I like listening to old soul music. I like Sam Cooke. When I was growing up, the first things I was listening to was Whitney Houston and Cher. They were really big inspirations for me.

You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.

I don't tend to lie. If I do, it's a little one. Like, 'I'm only around the corner...' when really I'm 10 minutes away.

I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.

I like to write poetry.

I'm not afraid of a rant, am I? I've got to that point where I've just become a woman; I think I've just grown.

Constantly having to think about money is not nice. People used to say, 'Being rich doesn't make you happy'. And I'd think, 'I've got no electricity, nothing - tell that to my empty fridge'.

If you are not happy with the song, don't sing it. Simple as that - no-one forces you to do it.

I'd definitely like more kids when I'm older. And I think I'm like every woman in that I'd like to get married one day.

Learning has no end until the day of death.

People who make mistakes are in the best position to make better choices.

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

My brother got a .22 for his 12th birthday I got a .22. He got a hunting knife I got a hunting knife.

Today you play for a place in history, today you play for immortality.

One of my first thoughts I had when I started considering the mastectomy was, 'What am I going to look like?' And then, 'What will my husband think?

Patience leads to power; but eagerness in greed leads to loss.

I'm not big on looking up myself. I don't get Google alerts, and I don't look on blogs.

Thought is your only currency!

For the faithful, our finest hours are sometimes during or just following our darkest hours.
