When you have children, you realise you can’t plan anything. There’s no Plan A, no Plan B. Life will happen and you will go with it.
I am positive – determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person.
I always joke about letting the haters motivate you. Everybody has that in their life, people who doubt them or make them feel less than they are. It just takes faith and belief in yourself, and you’ve got to dig deep into that. That has to come from you – nobody’s going to give you that.
I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices. I know all about what the technology is and all that kind of stuff. It’s very helpful.
I don’t regret what I’ve been through. I’ve had ups and downs, super highs and some really low lows. I’ve been so blessed that I could never say, ‘I wish this didn’t happen.’ It’s part of who I am. There’s nothing in my life that’s so ugh.
My mom always told me that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. And it’s true. It’s one of the truest things ever.
Life’s too short to live the same day twice.
You’ve gotta do things that make you happy.
I have to work, for my soul.
I know that there is a force in the world and an energy that you can put out, and when you put out love it comes back to you. I think that’s my basic philosophy.
Love scenes are always weird, though. They’re always uncomfortable. It’s all the people around who make it uncomfortable. It’s not usually the actor you’re working with, because they usually feel just as weird as you do!
I always love when everybody else is really bringing their game, because it’s only going to make the movie better; it just makes you work harder and they work harder and everybody is trying to get their little bit in. It’s competitive in a constructive way.
I don’t look at people and see color and race. I see inside.
I always knew I wanted to be a performer, and my mother started taking me to dance classes when I was five. My mother is a teacher, my father works at an insurance company. When I said I wanted to be a performer, people went, “Yeah, right.” You don’t do that where I come from.
I love improv-ing, you know, from very early on when I started acting the school that I went to and everything was very big on ad-libbing and improv-ing and messing things up, so I feel very comfortable doing stuff like that.
I’m very comfortable with being productive. I like doing things, and I like creating things.
I’m not stupid. I would like to have some businesses that grow so I won’t have to be out there on the road when I’m 44.
I would never speak about specifics in my own relationships because I think it’s tacky. If you seriously want to know, listen to the music.
I just never really gave myself any credit. And because of that, nobody else did either. You mirror what the world mirrors to you.
Things don’t always turn out exactly the way you want them to be and you feel disappointed. You are not always going to be the winner. That’s when you have to stop and figure out why things happened the way they did and what you can do to change them.
