I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday, my first check went straight to the bank.

I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.

I'd love to be a 'Bond' girl.

I like to scare myself and throw myself off the deep end.

The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

I love all things Christmas.

The day you stop learning and creating must be the most boring day.

There's nothing like the buzz of live theater. You put it out there and receive an instant reaction: laughing, crying, yelling, applauding.

It's one of those dreams I thought would be unattainable for someone like me, who came from nowhere.

When I was a 7-year-old girl, in my bedroom, on my karaoke machine, I would sing 'On My Own' or do a one-woman version of 'Les Miserables.'

We all have an escape. Mine was theater.

The main things are the plain things, and the plain things are the main things.

I like writing multiple stories at once. It's fun to change my mindset and get transformed into a different story when I feel like it.

If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.

(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.

A moral rule is essentially 'advantage-reducing.' It prohibits you doing something you could do that would serve your interests at someone else's expense.

Is this something new, having people stomp on you? Is it what I need to do for your pleasure?

What can the will do when the heart commands?

Once we see more of our need and understand more of what Christ has done for us, he will become more precious to us. And this, in turn, will enable our obedience far more than sheer grunt effort.

If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.
