My mom has raised me saying, "Always be yourself." So to be able to play a character that verifies just that, is such a thrill and adventure for me.

All I know, is that I feel extremely blessed to be on TV. Its a hard job, but real life is harder. Truth be told, playgrounds can be war zones.

I love any comedic zombie movies.

I have the belief that we are all created to be unique. We are supposed to be different and do those things that made us who we are.

Theatrically, you are aware of every part of you in acting; every component of your surroundings, including the clothes you wear. Eh...in voiceover, shorts and a t-shirt and badaboom...done.

I get a lot of people who will either write to me or come up in public and say, "My daughter, son, family, or I, etc. look up to you."

We live in the country. I'm a redneck. No, ha-ha. I live in L.A. County, but more in the hills. Not in the fancy kind! Trust me; whatever you do you do not want to come to my neighborhood!

I feel blessed because not only my character is, but I, myself, can be a role model for people to show that is okay to be your own unique self.

But my message to people with or without a condition is the fact that you can still do anything you set your mind to. You just have to do it in a slightly different way than other people.

Normalcy to me is enjoying the simple things in life.

It's really cool going into a casting room and having them know who you are and the work that you've done.

We must not only observe but listen to the sound of nature.

I can't say enough how important is the spiritual lifeto know God is with you all the timegives you confidence

Generally speaking, historically in this country, the care of a child has been thought of as female business.

Nothing remains great without a capacity to change and to accommodate the conditions of a changing world.

I was raised by a single dad, so I've always just kind of liked "guys" stuff. I think my dad just took me to the things he was interested in.

People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder, but because they're going deaf, it has to be played louder still.

If indeed the death of a child is part of a larger plan, you wonder if God ever considered a smaller plan.

You have to be decisive. Indecisiveness is a startup killer.

As I said, I believe life starts at conception.

There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.
