Performing for the Dalai Lama - those are words I never imagined coming out of my mouth.

You have to believe that things can be bigger than what you see in front of you in order to move forward.

I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!

The way that I am now, I don't want to accept mediocrity. I don't want to accept the easy road.

The overall physical demand that Iraq has is pretty amazing. It's 130 degrees, and the soldiers are carrying about 100 pounds of extra gear. It's a pretty rigorous schedule and routine for them.

The Dalai Lama's entire being is about peace and harmony, forgiveness and self-discipline. Those are qualities to be admired. I am really looking forward to meeting His Holiness.

Being an entertainer includes knowing how to connect with an audience.
