Everyone is different: different shapes, sizes, colors, beliefs, personalities, and you have to celebrate those differences.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!

My experiences remind me that it's those black clouds that make the blue skies even more beautiful.

I'm very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I'm that cookie-cutter. I don't live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there's no paparazzi there.

I never said I was a 'good girl.' I'm not a bad girl.

People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I'm blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun.

God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress.

I'm a hygiene freak. I'm like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.

Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it.

Everything changes, but beauty remains.

I've never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Your universe is not out there. You create it every moment and every day with your thoughts, ideas, perceptions, and imaginations.

I love letters from little kids. Adults never proclaim themselves 'your #1 fan!

Those who have suffered make the best comforters.

The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.

You look wise, pray correct that error.

Words are sexier than flesh.

As a newcomer, I was often expected to carry the bags of the older players, or get them burgers. That can make you feel pretty miserable.

When you have kids, it takes the focus off of you. You forget about what clothes you're wearing, or if you went to the gym. It makes you a better person if you do it right.

What is play and delightful one kind of child is coercion and torture for another, and will not take no matter how much coercion is applied.

Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.
