I have arthritis. The space around my spinal cord has become compressed.

I love pets and I love animals, and I just got a new puppy, a new rescue named Peanut. She's a tiny little Chihuahua mix.

During the first couple of years of 'Dancing with the Stars,' I would go to Jack in the Box in my ball gown after the shows and get the Taco Nachos with cheese as my reward.

Love is the one thing in life that makes everything worthwhile.

One of the best gifts you can give to an animal is a donation of a blanket to your local animal shelter during the winter months.

My poor vision gives me a soft-focus morning. For the first half hour, I kind of wander through my house, and everything is a blur. I put my contacts in when I'm ready to deal with the world.

I've never been supercritical about my body.

I really do want to have a child.

Somehow when I express my voice, I feel that much more vulnerable. For instance, if I used the wrong word, or if I said something and somebody could take the word and misinterpret it.

I started my career as a singer in Japan, but left it all behind to focus on my dancing career.

It's that mind-heart connection that I believe compels us to not just be attentive to all the bright and dazzling things but also the dark and difficult things.

If the constellations had been named in the twentieth century, I suppose we would see bicycles and refrigerators in the sky.

From where the sun now stands I will fight no more.

Never be glad that another man has died. Not ever. [...] It never ends. Never... ever... be glad to kill.

Our policemen and women are disrespected. We need law and order, but we need justice, too.

See, my idea of cute comes with an IQ requirement. It's geeky cute. It's Rivers Cuomo, not Justin Timberlake. It's Gideon Yago, not Brian Mcfayden. Jimmy Fallon, yes please! Brad Pitt, no thank you.

Plus, doing a zombie movie is quite liberating. It's fun not to take myself seriously all the time.

I know who I am, I know what I believe, that's all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.
