I'm at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about.

I can't bear looking in the mirror - I guess that's why my hair looks like this.

I was always the Southern gentleman.

I find that once you start helping others, it makes you feel better about yourself. It helps you figure out what you want to do with your own life.

I've always dreamed of having a large family.

I definitely didn't want to be that person that came out and was like, 'O.K. I'm going to lead every parade.

I love cooking. It's one of my favorite things to do. To share my parents' recipes that I grew up with is just something very special to me.

I'm still Christian. I was not raised in a Christian church to hate people. I was taught to love people and accept people. I know what I believe.

At some point in our lives there's something about every one of us that makes us feel like an outsider, I believe.

Somebody might get criticized for doing some movie that totally sucks, then turn around and be incredible. Every actor goes through that, not just musicians who act.

In my older age, I've learned to take things slower, because I used to be that total-fall-in-love-after-a-day guy.

We live by faith and by the grace of God.

In the end, we all die for what we believe in... mostly because we all die.

The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life, without a dream?

The best money advice ever given me was from my father. When I was a little girl, he told me, 'Don't spend anything unless you have to.'

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

I love summer. Because it means I can wear a bikini top and shorts, even just to go shopping.

There has never been any proper commitment to marketing these artists and their music. We are not Sony.

As soon as you just walk through the curtains and the crowd's there, everything's good after that.

It is the melody which is the charm of music, and it is that which is most difficult to produce. The invention of a fine melody is a work of genius.

Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they're individualized to an extent that you can still follow what's going on if you miss a week.
