I felt like it was time to set up my future, so I set a goal. My goal was independence.
I work closely with a number of charities from food pantries to drug rehabilitation to natural disaster relief to preventing sexual exploitation of young girls. It is one of the most rewarding things I do.
I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.
You can't put your finger on who I am. I can't put my finger on who I am.
It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else’s job to take care of me but me.
I like it when I'm on the stage, but honestly, I would be very happy if I could cut it off, just enjoy my life when I wasn't performing.
I'm learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.

Men and women balance each other out and we have to get to a point where we are comfortable with appreciating each other.
You can't appreciate the good times without the bad ones.
