I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.

I never want to produce anything that a family could not enjoy together. I never want to create art that would embarrass my own children later.

I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.

I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.

I could have a degree in music and come on the show, and Simon could still say 'You stink'.

In my ideal world, no child would suffer. Charitable instincts would prevail. There would be global acceptance of all different types of people.

My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.
