They wanted to do a movie about the Backstreet Boys.

Cancer is just a horrible disease.

I believe as human beings we are out of balance, out of synch with the earth.

Florida has tons of entertainment opportunities because Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are there.

I have been taking classes and I'm familiar with stage, but I'm not as familiar with acting on camera.

I am not a tree-hugger and I don't think mine is an extreme point of view.

I wanted to help raise awareness, so I created an environmental foundation called Just Within Reach.

I sang in church choir all my life, through elementary school, junior high and high school.

I just moved to Florida to seek out opportunities.

My mom sang in high school choir and so did my father.

Quite a few movies are starting to film in Florida.

At Christmas our house is like a Donnie and Marie Christmas Special.

I wasn't originally taking drama, but the drama teacher asked me to audition for Bye, Bye Birdie. I did and got the lead role. Initially I was kind of scared, but once I did it I got bitten by the bug and loved it.

For example, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Every four minutes someone is diagnosed, and every nine minutes someone dies.

We can have technology, prosperity, nice homes and cars, but at the same time we must be conscious of what we are dumping into the water, the air and our food.

If we can get kids talking about conservation and doing it, they can have a great influence on their parents by lecturing them and pointing the finger.

So if people will pay attention to what I say because of our success as a group, I am going to use that.

We're not saying that you don't need coal, but when you do mine the coal there are responsibilities to it. It may cost a little more, but it is the right thing to do.

The coal mining industry is very destructive and it doesn't have to be.

I have been reading scripts, going to auditions and looking for the right opportunities.

In musical theater you have to be very big and very animated, while film and television are more toned down.

But I would lie on the floor and analyze everything. I'd listen to all the strings and the background vocals on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and try to pick out the different instruments.

I started playing in the band and learned to play piano by ear.

I did Chicago on Broadway the year before last. That was a great opportunity and I had a blast.

Coal companies have a lot of power in the media, and unfortunately a lot of information doesn't get out.

I've always loved music, not necessarily just the Osmonds.

I remember lying on the floor of the living room with headphones on when I was four or five years old, listening to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Once colon cancer becomes symptomatic, nine times out of ten it is too late.

Prior to that I testified before the Senate subcommittee addressing mountaintop removal.

I had been singing all my life, but I started acting in high school.

My grandfather was in a barbershop quartet and my grandmother was in a gospel quartet with her sisters.

There were a lot of adventure books for boys, historical novels by Kenneth Roberts, and whatever mystery novels the alarmed librarian imagined might not corrupt an eager but innocent youth.

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

When it comes to boys and her weight, I think Ellenor is much more conservative than I am, and she has not had the dialogue I have had about my weight.

Americans are big boys. You can talk them into almost anything. Just sit with them for half an hour over a bottle of whiskey and be a nice guy.

I keep fit by running after my three boys all day.

Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework.

Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.

The moral turpitude of the boys of today appears to center in their failure to concentrate on any particular objective long enough to obtain their maximum results.

When I first started editing GQ, it gave the impression of being, and in fact was, a gay magazine. There were female models in it and there were women on the cover, but the boys were always much, much more beautiful than the girls.

When our boys come home from France, we will have the hags flung out.

The army teaches boys to think like men.

I was a very observant child. The boys in my books are based on boys in my neighborhood growing up.

As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport.

I beg you to look at the promising boys and beautiful girls in your homes and in your communities, and then you will not put these temptations in their way.

Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.

Now, being a girl, I was ashamed of my body and my lack of strength. So I tried to be a man. I shot, rode, jumped, and took part in all the fights of the boys.

Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.
