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

I think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist... or maybe even a pessimist.

I did get a degree in special education.

I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model. I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this, I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.

I am never going to sound like Johnny Mathis.

I'd hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people.

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.
