A tree reaches below the surface to gather strength for stargazing.

You can't just will your dreams to come true. You have to work hard. You have to give 'em wings, arms, legs...whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.

Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us.

I just love life. I love people. I love to write, that's my gift. I love to sing. I have a good attitude. I like to think I shine from the inside.

I will never retire unless I have to.

Don't lose your temper; use it.

My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
