I've been able to do a lot of things a lot of people haven't, that other people would dream of. I've been able to live out my fantasies, and dreams! So, I'm real lucky.

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

You got nothing to lose. You don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

Girls have got balls. They're just a little higher up, that's all.

Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I'm living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you're a woman.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

Success isn't one straight line - it's a ladder, and there's always another rung above you to reach out for. Like anything else, there are ups and downs.

I don't give a damn about my reputation. You're living in the past, it's a new generation.

Thought doesn't wrap around awareness. Awareness wraps around thought.

Keeping busy is the hardest part. When I find myself still, clear of thoughts, I can still feel you holding me.

It would be hilariously tragic if I avoided the rabids, avoided the sun, only to be fried to a crisp on a damn electric fence because I was too impatient.

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better. I could use my voice - my entire body - not just my looks, height, and physical expressions.

All that's missing for Utah is a blindfold and a cigarette.

To know the Word of God, to live the Word of God, to preach the Word, to teach the Word, is the sum of all wisdom, the heart of all Christian service.

Common sense, alas in spite of our educational institutions, is a rare commodity.

The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless; love is eternal.

I do for one full hour non-stop of 2,000 sit ups and then 6 sets of leg rise.

Either you have a sense of humor about [being a former child star], or you're in rehab. There's not a lot of gray area.
