No matter what the situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's the most important thing.

I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.
support may belief
While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.
teacher kids differences
It's important that I make a difference in some way. If it's performing and touching someone that way, that's great; if it's being a teacher and helping some kid understand something, that's even better...
religious thinking
I'm religious. I think this is something God had planned for me.

I'm not different. I'm not different at all. The wrapping is different but the gift is still the same.

It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.

But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
responsibility america role-models
I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model.
love-you thinking stronger
You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.
