It's amazing to impact people's lives - it's a cool thing to have the spotlight and be able to reassure people, to say, "It's OK to be 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.

Everything changes, but beauty remains.

I've never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Life is like a tree, even if it is not always green, it still is colourful and beautiful.

Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears.

How do I go about cataloguing my dreams?

Keep on dreaming. Keep on believing. It is free. And it is a choice.

Once you're already in hell, it's too late to beg for mercy.

All men of action are dreamers.

Economized love is never real love.

Good ideas have expiration dates. You need to act before they become dated, irrelevant or otherwise spoiled.

I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.

I understand acting and I understand actors. I don't really understand the world of celebrity. That's just bizarre. Those sorts of elements I'm at sea with.
