I may not be Einstein but I know dumb plus dumb equals you.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!

My experiences remind me that it's those black clouds that make the blue skies even more beautiful.

I'm very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I'm that cookie-cutter. I don't live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there's no paparazzi there.

I never said I was a 'good girl.' I'm not a bad girl.

People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I'm blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun.

God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress.

I'm a hygiene freak. I'm like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.

Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it.

Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that’s consistent with those beliefs.

Every dimension of your suffering will instruct you, until you have learned your essential lessons.

God sends you into a situation not so that He can show He is God; but rather for you to show who you are!

Love your readers to death!

I find Mexico exciting to visit, but I think [it] is looked down upon. Mexico is not a very respected place, unless you're Mexican, and even then it's something of a love/hate relationship.

Not so much a film as a visual essay, exquisitely directed and photographed (by Sacha Vierny)... Difficult to watch but well worthwhile for those willing to be challenged.

The freedom to do your own thing ends when you have obligations and responsibilities.

I kind of just roll up on stage. I realize that as soon as I find myself wearing something that I haven't worn ten times in the past, I'm like, "Who am I right now? I don't recognize myself!"

Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form.

How do you make people do the best work? You make them feel comfortable, so you can feel comfortable - and then you can have a really good ballgame!
