I don't have a lavish lifestyle with expensive cars.

Celebrity? Oh man, I just thought it was a ride that was going to last forever and when it stopped, I didn't know what to do.

I went from an innocent child to a national television star. My career took on a life of its own.

I'm going to be true to what I want to do, because if I care what people think about me, I'm a puppet. Which I have been in my life. And you can't live life that way, man!

I'm like everybody else. I get tired sometimes.

Romance is alive and well in America, but the 50 percent who can't make it work fail because of selfishness. It gets down to that. You can't oversimplify it because every situation is so complex.

My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there's a challenge, go for it. If there's a wall to break down, break it down.
