“Most people don’t have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.”

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

If I ran into a 19-year-old version of myself, I’d just tell her to live, full out. I might also tell her to go ahead and have a few babies and not worry about the timing of it.

I never really took any acting classes. I’m just a natural ham, I guess.

Always follow your own path.

I never wanted to give up my power. I wanted to be able to make my own decisions, so that’s why I became involved in management, bottom line.

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.

We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to… until they really bite us in the butt.

When I want to push myself and do intense workouts, I do that, but I’m not going to do it because anybody thinks I should look a certain way. It’s really more about how I feel and about being healthy.

As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.

I don’t care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

You have to allow your mind to create and then if you want to censor something and bring it down or point it in a different direction, then you can do it.

You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.

I already enjoy cooking. I like different flavors and putting different things together and really like taking normal recipes to a higher level.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

We suffered. We worried. We lost. We wept. But loved, and laughed, and cared, and helped.

Gratitude to all the coaches, teachers and mentors of the game who helped me understand this game better.

I have been playing with boys, which is helpful for me.

If you’re able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that’s worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.

I hope you find someone who matches your passion and your efforts. Someone who is mentally and emotionally equipped enough to help build you back up in your time of need.

Good company is important, it helps to cultivate good qualities.

I help design my own tennis clothes.

In our education system, we are taught to munch figures and remember them for lifetime. But does it help? We are not taught how to make decisions.
