To me an audition is 30 crazed people in a room waiting to be axed.

Love in the real world means saying you're sorry 10 times a day.

I did feel from day one that I was a born performer.

There was no way we'd ever get spoiled. Daddy made sure to instill in us a work ethic.

I wasn't ever interested in marrying someone else's career or bank account.

To this day I do not believe I'm great at anything.

If I could learn to treat triumph and disaster the same, then I would find bliss.

For every sleazeball in the business there are plenty of decent and wonderful people.

To me an audition is 30 crazed people in a room waiting to be axed.

I hate politics, hate deals, and deal-making, hate meeting with attorneys and agents.

Our culture is in moral chaos. On TV we celebrate freaks instead of honest, decent people.

They don't call me spontaneous and irreverant for nothing.

Sexual harassment is complex, subtle, and highly subjective.

Life seemed so simple and joyous when I was growing up.

If I'm in love I want to get married. That's how stupid I am.

For many people religion can be so easy they stumble right over it.

God didn't bless me with success so I could eat caviar every day.

A fear of the unknown keeps a lot of people from leaving bad situations.

We heard stories about fakery and decoys at revivals. I never personally saw any trickery.

It's no secret that I love to talk, but the real secret is I love to listen, too.

Mom thinks I live in this dream world where everybody's Ivana Trump.

Over the years my mom has become a self-taught Biblical scholar.

The payoffs in showbiz seemed as random as a slot machine.

People were referring to me as the new Anita Bryant. Anita would get a little jealous.

I was told all my life I was part Cherokee. Then it was Crow. The latest is Blackfoot.

I don't think Lloyd's of London would insure this mouth.

When I was almost 13 I was ripe for religion. I was actually just plain ripe.

There were no bigger stars in the new evangelism than the Bakkers.

I would never want to hurt anyone by writing a book.

I once said the Queen of England could use some fashion advice.

Why do I pray? Because I never know what's going to pop out of my mouth.

I felt no stigma whatsoever in becoming the third Mrs. Gifford.

I sang with Anita Bryant in the Southern Baptist churches.

We're imperfect people trapped in an imperfect world until we get to that place beyond.

Other kids did drugs; I did crafts. I never knew where I fit in.

If you settle for what you've got, you deserve what you get.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.
