Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.

In pageants, you are evaluated from head to toe and its obviously all about looks, and as vain as that is, they can also bring you lots of opportunities to do amazing things.

I'm from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That's my personality.

Many girls prepare their whole lives for this one moment. For me, I see Miss USA as an opportunity to reach new and greater heights in the future.

I just try to stick to clean foods, anything grilled like salmon, chicken, fish, brown rice, and veggies. I do have a really big sweet tooth, so I try to curb my cravings with fruit instead.

Ive never really been the type to dress up like the other girls do. Im more of a casual, relaxed kind of girl. More athletic.

Modeling and pageants help me overcome feeling insecure about the way that I look and my height.

I've done modeling since I was 18, but it didn't take off until I moved to Los Angeles. Modeling has always been something I've been really good at, and has been something that's helped pay bills.

Every single model wants to be in Sports Illustrated, and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity.

I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.

I've decided that I'm not going to try to squeeze myself into a friendship that hurts me any more. I'm going to let her go and just be friends with people who make me feel good about my self.

She had always observed that she got on better with clever women than silly ones like herself

Lot of our life wasted by finding the reality, although we live in unstable nature and with a lot of illogical laws.

Calling China's online censorship system a 'Great Firewall' is increasingly trendy, but misleading. All walls, being the creation of engineers, can be breached with the right tools.

It's not terribly fun defending you (oil companies), but I do.

When someone gives me three reasons instead of one, I'm inclined not to believe any of them.

I have an inability to enjoy things, but that's why we're in comedy. If we were happy, we wouldn't be funny, I guess.

Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.

I'm an old Catholic. I don't believe in anything Catholic but I do believe that Catholicism keeps me from committing suicide.
