I have a quiet and an artistic side that many people don't know of.

My personal goals are to be happy, healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.

When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people.

I always trust my gut reaction; it's always right.

I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am - not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.

Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.

I am a control freak. I want to do what I want to do.

Every girl likes to be thought of and made to feel special.

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled, be surrounded by people I care about to share it with, and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!

I like when my man is worldly, know the finer things in life, is well traveled, and educated. It's important to me that he's able to talk to all types of people, from doctors to dishwashers.

Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.

Because that was then and this is now. Because the past is gone, even though it defines the present.

The problem isn't a shortage of opportunities

The fewer the words the better the prayer.

The reveries of the dreamer advance his hopes, but not their realization. One good hour of earnest work is worth them all.

If you give, it will be given to you. And I have found that generous people are blessed people.

In Physic, things of melancholic hue and quality are used against melancholy, sour against sour, salt to remove salt humors.

In the name of a race you cannot find any dignity in the contemptability of your race.

My dad was a college football coach, so we're a big athletic family. I was either going to be an athlete or an actor. As an actor, I hoped I would be able to bond the two.

There is little that gives children greater pleasure than when a grown-up lets himself down to their level, renounces his oppressive superiority and plays with them as an equal.

I don't need no stool and mike stand. I don't need all of that to be funny. I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me. I spread love wherever I'm at. I'm like Marvin Gaye.
