I wasn't comfortable on stage for years. It was good - 18 shows. I want to do it again.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I'm more than a songwriter. I'm a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won't allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There's a reason to see me.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

I have always wanted to live where one could practice (golf) shots in one's pajamas before breakfast.

This ship is built to fight. You had better know how.

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.

The Book of Revelation has all the authority, in these theological uplands, of military orders in time of war. The people turn to it for light upon all their problems, spiritual and secular.

I don't know what it is I exude. But whatever it is, it's whatever I am!

In the quiet of this day may you know the greatness of your spirit and may your hopes fly on the wings of possibility.

Man developed in Africa. He has not continued to do so there.

For flowers that bloom about our feet; For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; For song of bird, and hum of bee; For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

We can support Barack Obama because he's committed to putting America back to work with good jobs - and he proved it by saving the auto industry.

That saints will aid if men will call; For the blue sky bends over all!
