I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard. I believe that someone in that great somewhere hears every word.

Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be.

I need honor in my life from somebody playing for keeps.

Everyday something new pops into my mind: I could do this next or I could do that next. I want to grow more and more and show people different sides of myself, whether it's different kinds of music, different kinds of movies, or different kinds of television.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.

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