Come hell or water high you'll never see me cry this is our last good bye.

You can't just sit around and watch life pass you by. You have to keep dreaming. Sonny taught me that, and I intend to do him proud.

I've been up and down so many times that I feel as if I'm in a revolving door.

Sometimes I feel like an old hooker.

I'm like a bumper car. When I did an infomercial I was fodder for every TV comedy show. I couldn't get a job. People said I was a huge joke. I've been a joke so many times. I've been on my way out since I started, but I'm strong-willed. My mother is so much tougher than I am and my grandmother is so much tougher than my mother.

I don't like my voice that much. I think I'm a much better actress than singer. Singing is like going to a party at someone else's house. Acting is like having the party at your own house. When you go to someone else's house for a party, it's not your responsibility at all, but when you have the party at your own house, there's a lot of responsibility. Everyone has to have a good time. So for me, acting is deeper.

In the recession people are going to be looking even more at what movie stars are wearing, as it provides a fantasy outlet.
