When we're young we have a very clear vision of how life is supposed to be, and it all seems very neatly packaged.

Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies?

When you have a tough loss, go through it and agonize. I had one loss that I still want to change, but at the same time I realize it is an important part of who I am.

I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule.

A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.

The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.

Try to have as diverse group of friends as possible and don't get into the the clique scenario.

We started a movement... to build character, citizenship and confidence in young people.

The money was good while it lasted. The best part was clearly that it changed my view of what's possible, as far as thinking how you can have an impact on a national level.

Always strive to get what you want, what you need, especially if your intentions are good and nobody gets hurt in the process.

All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.

I think the American Dream should be about a greater progressive legislation that allows for what I call a necessary future world of cooperational humanism.

Better a soulless clone... than a souled roach.

To be a good kisser start slow, definitely ramp into it and remember somebody's on the other side of your mouth!

The vulgar herd catches at the gross apparent fact, but the man of insight knows what lies on the surfaces does lie.

In parts of Montana, salt concentrations in soil water, have reached those double those of seawater.

Christ preaches only servitude and dependence... True Christians are made to be slaves.

A king may spille, a king may save; A king may make of lorde a knave; And of a knave a lorde also.

I did go to Wellesley, a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.
