I think anything emotional adds to your acting and singing, no matter what it is that you go through. It will always add to it, never take away.

I love feeling like I have purpose and maybe that's the purpose I'm giving myself.

I'm grateful that I feel the way that I do - to make choices based on a lot of people's feelings - even though it has been hard at times, especially when I was younger, but I feel like it has led me down the right road for me. I'm very happy with what has come of that.

Your Western ideas about love are ridiculous. A woman is put on earth to please a man and a man should have many women, and a woman should only have one man.

Sometimes I think people are famous because they're themselves and they do a role and you see them do it.

I was raised in Oklahoma. I was actually born in Tulsa, but I grew up in a small town on the west side of Oklahoma called Elk City on a farm, where my dad grew up, actually.

Sunday's my favorite day - that one matinee in the middle of the day!
