I've always been a strong family advocate. I had a wonderful family growing up. ”

Nobody just said, 'Here, be a star!' I've joked many times that I was a seven-year overnight success. ”

I was the singing voice of a cartoon character. I did dog food commercials. I did a lot of commercials, actually, and helped pay my rent and my classes. Then I'd get one good line or two good scenes. I was building my career and building my own experience and learning technically what it was like to be on a set and all of those things. ”

You think you're in control, and you're trying to get that square peg in that round hole. You're frustrated, and you realize that you're not in control of everything. You need to just step back and let God. ”

I only had one focus and one direction, and I knew where my spirit and heart lived, and it was in singing and dancing and acting, being that. I know a lot of young people dream that, but it's good that it worked out for me because it was all I ever wanted to do. ”

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. I don't want to lose the ability to jump up and walk across the room or move around with the energy I'm used to having. That's far more important to me than a wrinkle or two. ”

I love kids. I wanted more. I have two, but I would've had six or seven... I would have done that if I could. ”

Two things I take very seriously in life. My golf game and my relationship with God. Neither one is simple. ”
