My dogs are about unconditional love. It's so wonderful to walk in the door from a long day and all they want to do is be loved and to give and give.

I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.

I know society these days, I know people are wanting to find everything they can to pick things apart, but I have to write from my heart and my experiences, and I fully own them. Those are mine to share.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

Hopefully people will grow with me, because I'm definitely not going to be stuck in one place all my life.

I believe in equality for everyone. I believe everyone should have the right to love and commit to whomever they want. [...] All I know is that in God's eyes we are all the same. I just wish we could see through the eyes of God more often.

I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors.
