guilty hate hour lying minutes people telling tend truth worth
Unfortunately, as much as I am gullible, I also hate lying. I tend to tell the truth a lot... lying just isn't worth it. But I think I'm guilty of telling people that I'm 5 minutes away when really I'm about 45 or an hour away.
people phased
I read that a lot of people think I'm gay. I don't care. My boyfriend and I are not really phased by what people say.
Performing is my passion. Being onstage is at once exhilarating, beguiling, and fulfilling. But it's hard.
cool school
Doing well in school was a cool thing to do when I was in high school, so I had a blast.
cameras playing sounds takes time
I know it sounds silly, but it takes some time getting used to all the cameras in your face. I think it's like playing jazz. After I learn the rules, I can have fun and play a little bit.
afraid fail god hard love
Don't be afraid to fail. For the love of God, don't be afraid to fail, because you're going to fail. So try to fail as hard as you can is what I would say, because you're always going to get up and you're going to learn something from it.

If I'm not working, I'm either sleeping or preparing for the next day of work.
asks charged court everyday girlfriend human lies life love nature reasons sweater tempted wearing white
Little white lies are part of everyday life. If you're in court being charged with a felony, you're probably going to be tempted to lie. Or if your girlfriend asks you if the sweater she is wearing makes her look fat; you're going to lie because you love that person. There are different reasons and justifications to lie; it's human nature.

Whether she's casual or red carpet, she's put together.

Usually corners are sure goals for us. We probably score on one out of three.
enamored enjoying
I was enamored with him. And I was excited. And I was enjoying it.
american-celebrity
This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through. I don't accept that he had to completely desecrate my character.
became bigger certainly element humor intelligence man public qualities somewhat sort trust
I think probably the qualities that I look for in a man are somewhat different than they were before I became a public person, but not that much different. I think that, sort of, the element of trust is certainly much bigger for me, but the other things that - the other qualities, intelligence and kindness and sense of humor, those things.
center feelings
I don't have the feelings of self-worth that a woman should have... and that's been the center of a lot of my mistakes and a lot of my pain.
