Since it was too difficult to get into the Screen Actor's Guild in New York, I moved to Miami in 1982 and started a successful career as a television commercial actress, obtaining my SAG card there.

Before the boat docked, however, he confessed because he was contemplating running for president, he couldn't separate from his wife. I believed him when he told me he faced a difficult choice between pursuing personal happiness and his political destiny.

Pornography changes the attitudes and lifestyles of those who consume it, no matter how old a person is.

After graduating in the summer of 1980, I knew I wanted my life to count.

Because pornography is a tool of Satan that exploits and distorts our God-given sexuality, women - especially Christian women - need to understand the increasing threat of online pornography.

A month after the scandal broke, I tried to go back to work at the pharmaceutical company after a leave of absence. But because of all the publicity and resulting pressure and stress, I finally resigned.

Although I'd first seen Senator Hart in Aspen, Colorado, at a New Year's Day party in 1987, we hadn't talked.

I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath.

Before the group left, Gary asked for my phone number, and the next day he called to ask me to dinner that night. I had no idea he was married, but I found out that night.

In my case, I learned that although God loves us, he doesn't grant us immunity from the consequences of our choices.

I also had to work through the violation of my date rape, my unhealthy relationships with men, my anger toward the people involved in the scandal, and those who exploited me afterwards.

But even after the first week, when Hart got out of the presidential race because of the Washington Post's threat to reveal a long-term relationship Hart had apparently been having with a prominent Washington woman, the media continued to embellish my past.

Returning to South Carolina meant getting a normal job in a normal town with normal people and marrying a normal person. I wanted the glamour and opportunity of the world.

I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world.

Shortly thereafter, some friends encouraged me to try out for the Miss South Carolina World beauty pageant. To my surprise, I won - and was sent to New York City to compete nationally.

I was always an overachiever.

At thirteen I began modeling, doing my first television commercial in ninth grade for Pizza Hut.

It was hard to turn down the money since I didn't have a job, but I didn't want to exploit my notoriety because I knew the way I'd been living was wrong.

So on May 1, 1987, at Gary's invitation, I agreed to see him one last time - to confront him face-to-face about his sincerity and with the intention of ending our brief relationship.

I stared at the television in shock, watching as my private life was revealed to the world.

In the woods we return to reason and faith.

I'm tired of hearing about this 'well-regulated militia' that is so necessary for American freedom.

Redemption basically is about holistic health, if you want to translate it into modern parlance. What I suggest - based on the Christian tradition but not often preached - is that you can't enter into the fullness of the Pascal mystery of the redemption unless there is a radical transformation of motivation within you.

It was amazing that during rehearsals, without any of the costume on, the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time, I didn't know I was doing it.

We keep secrets from ourselves that all along we know.

I've organized everything for my family since I was little. I know how to delegate and budget. I solve people's problems.

If you are holding hands with others you cant hold a gun

We are the train and the tracks are the path our lives follow. In control at dispatch is God, and He is overseeing each of our movements and coordinating what happens.

I don't have one geographic location that I'm exclusively loyal to.

I've weighed 100 lbs. soaking wet since puberty.

Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect.

The way I process things, they way I express myself, is in comics, just as poets process things that they are trying to understand.

Only let's cut out the transcendental twaddle when the whole thing is as plain as a sock on the jaw.

Every time you overhear something hurtful, I want you to do something kind for someone else.

Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think.

The first rule of snooping is to come at it sideways.

I got my Equity card right out of NYU grad school in 2000, doing 'The Great White Hope' at Arena Stage. I played Jack Jefferson. It was an amazing part to walk into, to carry that responsibility for that amount of time. The challenges and the breadth of that role were pretty amazing.

Nowhere are emissions monitored constantly. So the truth is that the real quantity of dioxin emissions from incineration remains unknown.

When I was 16, I really discovered good stuff like Detroit techno or gabba from Holland.

I became fascinated by the then-blossoming science of molecular biology when, in my senior year, I happened to read the papers by Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod on the operon theory.

Only when we accept fear will we have freedom.

And in the future, you know, maybe there's kids in the future for me, I don't really know. The interesting thing with me is that there has never been a woman doing what I'm doing at this level for this long. So, it's like, would Vince give me maternity leave?

All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.

I am committed to ensure that our 2008 Republican presidential candidates forthrightly address issues of importance to the African-American community.
