I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.

Any obsession is dangerous.

I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.

I like the way my own feet smell. I love to smell my sneakers when I take them off.

We might all be so afraid to be who we are, but in the end, it's really you're individual, unique qualities that make you attractive to people.

I was a big sci-fi fantasy geek when I was younger... secretly, in my room.

I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break.

A person is neither right or wrong-- there is only a right attitude and a right interaction.

I have tried to express the idea that the café is a place where one can ruin oneself, go mad, or commit a crime.

Extreme complication is contrary to art.

My life's goal is not to write books; my life's goal is to know God better today. The neat thing about a goal like that is you can achieve it. Faith is constant; it's a relationship.

I like doing arts and crafts, so I would probably go to one of those fun little ceramic places and go paint some plates and do something fun like that

Eroticism cannot be entirely revealed without poetry.

My old trainer used to tell us not to blast, but to caress the ball whenever we took possession. If the ball were a woman... she would be spending all night with Berbatov.

I started learning to sing what I liked, to experience it in a visceral way. Then it's inside. Get rid of the neurosis and then you can improvise.

I have learned to look upon each little hindrance as a jest and each great one as a foreshadowing of victory.

I don't always feel His presence. But God's promises do not depend upon my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.
