I've always had a quirky way of looking at things. It's my coping mechanism.

Write yourself a permission slip to be surprised by someone's potential. Who knows? One day that person could be you.

Run towards that very thing that you fear, because there's amazing blessings on the other side.

I was homeless for a little bit. I was on people's couches, but it was an amazing journey. I got to make people laugh all the way.

I have so much hair; I have a separate wig closet in my house.

My husband, Sal, and I put date nights on the calendar once a week. I know that doesn't sound romantic, but otherwise it won't get done.

I've always been a strong believer that you were born with the hair you've got, but have the ability to get the hair you want.

I know that for me I have to get out of the way and let God take control.

My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they're not one of them.

For my first wedding, I cried all the way down the aisle. My fake eyelash came off. My nose was red. My eyes were swollen. I'm not one of those pretty criers.

If you don't go towards the thing you fear, you won't be able to say you lived.

Prayer is the power of being.

The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing, that rush of adrenaline.

The collaboration wish list is huge, very long. It goes from people like Elton John, for whom I have an unbelievable amount of respect, to Snoop Dogg, whom I also respect a great deal.

The other mistake I think people make is talking to who's available rather than talking to who they need to talk to.

When love brings so much joy, why must it bring so much pain?

To open the Bible is to open a window toward Jerusalem, as Daniel did (6:10), no matter where our exile may have taken us.

I always wrote little things when I was younger. My first opus was a book of poems put down in a spiral notebook at five or six, handsomely accompanied by crayon illustrations.

Hmm... Death by mini bar, how glamorous.

We're going to put Hulu ahead of you, unless you pay up.

These struggling tides of life that seem In wayward, aimless course to tend, Are eddies of the mighty stream That rolls to its appointed end.
