A boat is always safe in the harbor, but that's not what boats are built for.

I hope I have a little talent, but a lot of it was luck. I went through setbacks. People said I looked too young, people said I wasn't good, nobody said, 'Come here, baby, we're going to make you a star.' Early on, when I'd say, 'Can I do some anchoring?' people would look at me like I was crazy.

I could announce one morning that the world was going to blow up in three hours and people would be calling in about my hair!
