I'm working with UNESCO on a project called 'Thirst,' which educates children all over China and promotes awareness to the fact that 300 million people in China do not have access to water.

I'm petrified of bees because I have an anaphylactic reaction to bees.

I do an international beauty pageant called Queen of the Universe for UNESCO, and what we do is we build kindergartens around the world.

Some people would rather have a lie that makes them smile than a truth that makes them cry. I'm the opposite; I'd rather have people make me cry with the truth than try to make me smile.

My one main secret I did right after my pageants days, is I only wash my hair once a week. I tell everyone, 'You have to stop washing your hair so much!'

Pageants were a platform for me, and they helped me get to where I am today. You suddenly stop being just another girl, and people want to listen to what you have to say.

I'm a happily declared chocoholic. I keep it everywhere, even my nightstand.

I am the lead on NBC's 'Siberia,' and I loved that experience.

People long to go backward in their imagination as well as forward. We don't wish simply to exist forever in some future

A good editor is like tinsel to a Christmas Tree...they add the perfect amount of sparkle without being gaudy.

If your body is a temple, you can pile up too much deferred maintenance. If your body is a temple, mine was a real fixer-upper.

The essence of voluntary simplicity is living in a way what is outwardly simple and inwardly rich.

My slender waist and thighs are exhausted and weak from a night of cloud dancing.

Because cap and trade is enforced through the selling and trading of permits, it actually perpetuates the pollution it is supposed to eliminate.

He that uses his words loosely and unsteadily will either not be minded or not understood.

For me from a pretty young age up until about 21 years old hallucinogenics had a huge place in my life.

The more we nourish our internal world, the more powerful we grow in the external world.
