What makes a woman beautiful is her loyalty to and her friendships with other women, and her honesty with men.

I'm not ready to be a woman yet. I'd like it if my body were more boyish. Maybe I'll like my curves when I'm older but right now they kind of make me squirm.

Because of my crazy work schedule, I have become something of a master at changing my clothes while driving. The men driving next to me love it.

I don't get this whole super-skinny obsession. I really think women look more beautiful when they let their curves show.

Acting probably saved my life. It gave me a home and a safe place to let out all of my emotions and have it be ok.

I eat whatever I want, junk food included.

If I deny myself something, I just get resentful, so what's the point?

My family didn't have any money growing up. I'm just a girl from the ghetto; from Indio, California.

I love Vegas. It's like going to Disneyland.

I don't know any woman who doesn't have an anxiety attack about wearing a bathing suit.

Deep within every crisis is an opportunity for something beautiful.

Our firm conviction that ours is a just cause and that we must find a peaceful way to attain our goals gave us the strength and the awareness of the limits beyond which we must not go.

No matter what you do, you'll never run away from you.

I don't want to do anything halfway. It has to be perfect.

You know, so many people say TV makes you stupid. But it had the complete opposite affect on me. It kept me from having a really bad Southern accent.

I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.

It's hilarious a lot of times. You have a conversation with someone, and he's like, 'You speak so well!' I'm like, 'What do you mean? Do you understand that's an insult?

Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

For me the Voice of God, of Conscience, of Truth or the Inner Voice or the still small Voice mean one and the same thing.

My joy burns brighter when I tend to the glowing hearth fires of home.
