A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

The only problems I've ever had with being honest is telling people how I feel about them or saying how I feel about other people.

I was a very defensive kid 'cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn't want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.

The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It's the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it - no wind, no elements, it can bend and withstand anything.

I dedicate my love and whole heart this Memorial Day to my Dad, a soldier, who like many others, suffers in silence with pride and honor.

I'm never the kind of person who's sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats. I've always based it on, 'Am I doing the best that I can do?'

There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I'm in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.
