I've been into exercise my whole life, been a runner and been into health and fitness always.

I lived an idyllic 'Huckleberry Finn' life in a tiny town. Climbing trees. Tagging after brothers. Happy. Barefoot on my pony. It was 'To Kill a Mockingbird'-esque.

You shouldn't change what you are in the search for success.

The name Sissy came because my brothers called me that.

I was always proud about being from Texas and, you know, maybe that was part of fearlessness. I love the fact that Texas is so big, but you don't feel small because of that.

I wouldn't want to play a normal princess who always walks around in nice dresses. I never had a connection to it when I was a child, I preferred playing with plastic soldiers.

The difference with Cleveland is that the racial tension was not a casual taste of it. It was outlandish.

Ye therefore who love mercy, teach your sons to love it, too.

A good speech should be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest
