I have a very, very creative family.

I never really cared about what I looked like.

Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle-clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake.

I realize you cant please everyone.

Lots of models have played mermaids throughout history and it is, kind of, a funny rite of passage.

Through my whole career, that's been a major thing - bringing my family with me.

I have taken a break from the media spotlight for the past few years.

I got on stage for the first time when I was seven. From seven until I was about nine it was probably more to do with just being on stage and having the attention.

As a model you do play a certain role and you know as an actor you play another role.

As a child, I was a clown. I didn't hesitate to make a fool of myself and I would love to completely take on wacky characters.

I grew up on the beach. It was such a luxury to wake up to the sun and the ocean.

Sounds of depression remembering rejection Hope turns to despair black roses everywhereKeep hearing echoes voices in my mind repeating endless lies evil in disguise

an unknown and forgotten treasure of the earliest Christians, a manual for living used by the generation of Jesus followers immediately after the apostles.

A lot of you want me to hurry through the introduction. That's because you're so much older you don't want to waste a minute of your life.

It takes all the fun out of a bracelet if you have to buy it yourself.

We are adjusters. We empathize, we change rhythm and above all we listen to our fellow actors-if they're good actors.

Reason may be a small force, but it is constant, and works always in one direction, while the forces of unreason destroy one another in futile strife.

I've never, ever had any therapy. Some might say I need it, but I've never seen a shrink or a psychologist or anything like that.

Inspiration is that state in which mind and heart are connected.

I don't know if vocally I am so great.

I've been writing on my own. It's like Roger Miller used to say, every now and then, like a dog having puppies, you have to crawl under the house and do it yourself.
