If you look at a magazine and something catches your eye, are you not going to open it up to see what's inside?

I would be happy not even being a supermodel. Being able to get a taste of everything that I want a taste of makes me happy.

I look for these qualities and characteristics in people. Honesty is number one, respect, and absolutely the third would have to be loyalty.

People are taken aback by a confident, pretty girl who knows what she wants in life and isn't going to let anyone get in her way. And you know what it's all about? Jealousy.

It's not winning or losing. It's the friends and the people that you meet along the way.

I got the nickname Spitfire for a reason - I burned inside to play volleyball.

I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball.

Being 5' 10", I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball. So that gave me the hunger and the fire to say, Oh yeah? I'd just hit the crap out of the ball.

People think, 'She's a model. She must have such an attitude. She must be so stuck up.' But I'm normal. I cry. I'm not rich. I drive a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity.

I would play football, because I love it.

I teach not by feeding the mind with data but by kindling the mind.

Life demands something else, discomfort and pain.

To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires bravery bordering on heroism. Bordering on insanity.

There's a balance between what you want to give the world and what it needs. If you're lucky, your work is in the middle.

It is the way we react to circumstances that determines our feelings.

A person isn't born with the intelligence to be with someone especial, you learn it, and you fail in the path of life, but you don't have to give up the chance to love.

If he's choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn't respect your feelings and needs.

I'm certainly not a fan of conversion when you could shoot the movie in 3-D.

If you want milk, don't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in the hope that a cow will back up to you.

There's some connection between visual images and music. But there's plenty of old records where I have no idea what the band looked like, or even what sort of context the music was played in.
