I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.

I'm the kind of person who would rather rock in my rocking chair when I'm old and regret a few things that I did than to sit there and regret that I never tried.

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

I look like a woman, but I think like a man.

A real important thing is that, though I rely on my husband for love, I rely on myself for strength.

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
