NFL cheerleading is harder than most people think. They train up to six hours every day with games on Sundays. They gave me a great work ethic.

It doesn't matter what people say or what the rules say or what you're supposed to do, you go after what's in your heart.

I think it's important to love what you do and have a good time with it. I go to work every day and have a blast.

I can take a newspaper and make it a lethal weapon.

I'm a girl in boy's clothing. I like to get a little rough. I prefer mud to makeup. That's me in a nutshell.

I like a man who can come out and say he's nervous on the first date. I think that would be really cute.

I never thought I would be one of those wacky chicks who say, 'I loved my labor,' but I loved every part of it. It was the best day of my life.

I know it sounds weird, but my definition of 'sexy' has changed as I've gotten older. And being smart and informed makes me feel sexier than any outfit.

I'm a tomboy myself and have always been incredibly athletic.

I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.'

Cheerleading was my way in. It was one of the most rigorous audition processes ever. It definitely groomed me for Hollywood.

Black and white is salt and pepper of colors, for life tastes bland without them.

There is more to life than making a living. Do not work more than you live.

Financial crises are like fireworks: they illuminate the sky even as they go pop.

I do not pretend to start with precise questions. I do not think you can start with anything precise. You have to achieve such precision as you can, as you go along.

Competition is merely the absence of oppression.

Writing to me is a voyage, an odyssey, a discovery, because I'm never certain of precisely what I will find.

I convinced her that her first loyalty isn't to other people, but to her own feelings.

We must in strength and humility meet hate with love.

You can't stop people from talking about you, but you can stop giving them something to talk about.

My favourite British spots are any of the beautiful parks, especially on a sunny day such as this, after a long stretch of cold, cloudy and rainy days.
