I still get nervous on dates. I'll be sitting at dinner with a guy and I have to excuse myself and go to the bathroom because I can't breathe.

I have never had anything done. I've been asked if I had breast implants. Whether I did or not, it's nobody's business but my own.

Five minutes before I went on, I looked at my manager and said, I'm going to get booed. I know it's going to happen. And you're responsible because you put me on here. It was horrible. I've never been more hurt in my entire life.

I'm not a violent person and I don't hit people.

All my fans tell me what a glamorous life I have, but I tell them how hard I work and how many nights I spend alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom.

I realize it's probably best to keep my politics to myself.

That's something I go through every day - you know - Am I good enough to act?

I still get nervous on dates. I'll be sitting at dinner with a guy and I have to excuse myself and go to the bathroom because I can't breathe.

Everybody deserves a second chance in this world. That's basically all I ask.

I can't stand unpacking.

If God wanted us to be naked, why did he invent sexy lingerie?

For a while I couldn't leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone, I'd get self-conscious.

My inner child is not wounded.

I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. Once I was married, I didn't want to be a failure, so I stuck it out for six months, which was about six months too long.

If I kind of like a guy, then I'm a fantastic flirt. But with a guy I truly like, I get painfully shy.

Whenever I get frustrated, I tell myself, you could be working at a 7-Eleven right now, so never take for granted what you do for a living.

I'm a conservative. I was an avid supporter of Ronald Reagan; I thought he was fabulous.

To be a bitch or not to be a bitch, that is the question.

You just have to keep believing in yourself.

If somebody wants to have plastic surgery, more power to them. I think there's a point where you go overboard.

I don't think you should do things in your personal life differently because you're a role model.

I realize that the majority of people in the entertainment business happen to be Democrats. I have no problem with that. And they should have no problem with the fact that I'm a Republican.

I definitely lived my life like I wasn't in the public eye.

Have you ever felt like a phone call that's been disconnected?

I'm from the South. I'm a Southern Baptist. I have a conservative point of view. I'm a Republican.

There's not one cast member of 90210 who didn't throw a tantrum to two themselves.

Your life changes. Everything has to be done perfectly, and I didn't follow that. I lived my life as if I wasn't in the public eye. I thought, 'I'm young. I have the right to experience new things, and if I want to go to a bar and get drunk, that's my prerogative.'

This is a free country, and nobody should be criticized for their political beliefs. We're all allowed to have our opinions.

Democracy is a destiny of humanity which cannot be averted. It can be delayed but not defeated.

If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.

Hey, if someone is crushing on me, and it brings them out to the show, so be it!

It's very difficult for the family members of ICE agents, and it's very difficult for ICE agents to know what's right and what's wrong and why should I get engaged and go out there and enforce the law when I don't know what it means any more to have consequences.

I've always been thinking in three dimensions, ever since I started working with computer animation in the early '80s.

We can have skills training in mindfulness so that we are using our attention to perceive something in the present moment. This perception is not so latent by fears or projections into the future, or old habits, and then I can actually stir loving-kindness or compassion in skills training too, which can be sort of provocative, I found.

I will pick a raft of cartoons. And then later, it'll come time to run this cartoon. And I'll look at it, and I won't quite get it anymore. Because sometimes the grenade goes off in the moment, and then it doesn't repeat down the line.

Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.

One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make a difference. Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our grasp.

We, Homo sapiens, destroyed the majority of the large mammalian species in North America and Australasia just over 10,000 years ago. We, Homo sapiens, now are destroying the other species that presently exist on this planet at a rate of about 15,000 to 20,000 per year.

I love hip-hop. I have gone through many difference phases in my love affair with hip-hop.

Everybody has some sorrow, worry, and everybody asks God for help.

I see the state of all of us who live, nothing more than phantoms or a weightless shadow.

The only way I survived at school was by doing impersonations of teachers and pupils. That led to me winning a talent competition when I was 16; the prize was three or four gigs in working men's clubs. I was just showing off: at the time, I thought that's what acting was.

How you do money is how you do life.

AC/DC, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper - I learned stories of all these guys. That's when I fell in love with Queen, which is one of my favorite bands of all time... I started paying attention to what made music good. I started paying attention to why I liked it.

This band is a real collaboration, and I'm greatful to anybody who can appreciate our music. It doesn't have to be a certain kind of fan or person or anything. I think there's a little bit of something for everybody on this record.

There are very few people that I deal with from a business side that it's just strictly a one-sided business relationship. I think that's important.

I'm not that ambitious chick. I'm not chasing a cover of a magazine or an award. I've just never been that girl. I've always been very content with whatever God blessed me with and he's already blessed me with a lot.

It takes a moment to make memories and a lifetime to forget them.

The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.
