One day I would like to have my own art show.

My personal goals are to be happy, healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.

When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people.

I always trust my gut reaction; it's always right.

I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am - not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.

Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.

I am a control freak. I want to do what I want to do.

Every girl likes to be thought of and made to feel special.

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled, be surrounded by people I care about to share it with, and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!

I like when my man is worldly, know the finer things in life, is well traveled, and educated. It's important to me that he's able to talk to all types of people, from doctors to dishwashers.

Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.

Courage is a quietness not martial music made Born of facing up to life even when afraid.

I think all music is a gift from God.

I'm for absolute autonomy of the individual, and an adult, competent woman has absolute autonomy. It's her choice.

In 1986, when they made the TV movie, Return to Mayberry, Barney and Thelma Lou did get married!

A single, ordinary person still can make a difference - and single, ordinary people are doing precisely that every day.

No one seemed able to look at themselves, coolly, from the outside. Their reality was all that could be seen in the light cast ahead by their own wishful thinking.

I'm a fan of the European style, naturalistic thriller.

When I started stand-up, the first thing I did was to take an improv class.

The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities-a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.

Go on working, freely and furiously, you will make progress and sooner or later your worth will be recognised, if you have any.
