I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past.

The red lips are - I don't want to call them "armor," but they're the clothes of my character, and I'm in the business of entertainment. Wearing red lipstick helps get me into that world.

It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

I'm very protective of how much I let people see.

Hurt me to see the pain across my mothers face, every time my father's fist would put her in her place.

After all you've put me through, you would think I despise you, but in the end I want to thank you because you made me that much stronger.

He's the one guy I can credit for making me think about marriage in a whole new light, because every guy I've had in my life has either lied or cheated me financially or business-wise, or taken advantaged of me.
