The only other time I've been away from home was when I went to college. And that was just an hour away, so I could always go home if I needed to.

I love having my hair and makeup done for red carpets, but to have that done every day would be exhausting.

Throw caution to the wind and just do it.

[When] opportunities present themselves, I take them. It's just how I roll!

I did most of my volunteer work when I was in college because I knew of more ways to get involved. In high school, we'd do things like, there was a homeless shelter near our hometown and our church group decorated one of the rooms. In college, I was in a sorority, and we did a lot of things, like pick up trash on the highway.

My support group - my mom, my dad, my sisters, my brothers-in-law, my immediate nieces and nephews, my immediate family like Aunt Donna - I know I can trust them. Most of the other people...they never called me before, they never said "I love you" before, they never wanted to take a picture with me at family reunions. It's like, don't do it now...You win the lottery and all of a sudden everybody's your best friend.

It's hard to find normal celebrities.
