My first dance ever on 'Dancing With the Stars' was to 'Let's Hear it for the Boy.'

Adrenaline is the reason I do what I do.

There is something so rewarding about dancing. It's almost spiritual - you let loose, you feel free, you get endorphins from the exercise.

I've always had God, but now I want to go back to church for the sense of community and that feeling of positive thinking, a place where I can think about being a better person.

I think it's important to be happy before you can make anybody else happy.

Friends are the best therapy.

I try to bring my mascara everywhere because I'm a blonde and you know blondes have really light eyelashes, you always wanna put more and more on 'til they look like spiders, that's just what I do.

'Grease' is one of the movies that made me want to be an entertainer, and I have literally been waiting my whole life to play Sandy.

I'm very blessed and I don't take anything for granted. I think if you alienate people and just focus on your work then it just becomes lonely and it's not fun anymore.

It's scary to take risks and it's scary to get out of your comfort zone, but it's also the most rewarding when you do.

When you dance on your own there is something so magical and so special.

Having a woman on the team is stirring things inside me that I never felt before while on the job.

The Cross is not responsible for God's love; rather it was His love that conceived the Cross.

All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.

I needed to purge myself of all the attention my parents had given me - I wasn't neglected enough as a child.

Ask a man how much a dollar is worth, and he'll tell you, 'Almost nothing.' Try to take a dollar away from him, and you'll get yourself a fight.

It feels strange to have spent much time wishing for something, for someone and then one day, suddenly, to just stop.

On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.

Love can make a great celebration out of your life - but only love, not lust, not ego, not possessiveness, not jealousy, not dependence.

I like doing food as a focal point on my table. It is not like going out and buying flowers or candles, which are expensive.

Looking back, I'm proud of what I've been able to do, grateful for the fact that I really have very few, if almost zero, nightmare stories of being on sets and working with the wrong people.
