“My dad used to tell me ‘opinions are like assholes, everybody has one’”

I guess I kind of realized that my whole life isn’t one giant press junket. I don’t have to be smiling all the time and always have the perfect answer.

You need to see things, REALLY see them, feel them, live them, so you know what’s big and what’s little, what matters and what to put aside.

Fear’s the only obstacle that gets in the way of doing what we love. Fear holds us back from living the lives we’re made to live.

God wants my life to be about being successful and being happy and blessing other people and being blessed.

I like being the girl nobody can have.

I’m the most antimedication person, but some people need medicine, and there was a time where I needed some too.

The greatest opportunities in life come with fear and risk.

This is a new point in my life, and things are totally changing. But like the sunsets I saw on Tybee Island, the miles I’ve already gone are going to stay with me.

NOTHING can/will define me! Free to be EVERYTHING!!!

It’s so much easier to know who you are when there aren’t a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

I take a hiatus every now and again, but I’m not good at that.

I love to sleep. I’d sleep all day if I could.

I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand.

I’m just a girl, With a dream that got the best of me, In a world that believes fame is everything.

You can’t blame me for who I am.

People like controversy because that’s what sells.

Did our fathers create silence or is it that what makes them our fathers?

During the Depression, my dad made radios to sell to make extra money. Nobody had any money to buy the radios, so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard, and he cared for the dogs.

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

My father was the only man I ever knew who really loved me unselfishly, who never used me for personal gain.

I’m born to be a father. And I’ve been looking forward to this all my life.

Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps

I believe I am happy. I don’t think I have achieved happiness in all areas of my life yet. As far as success is concerned, my family is being taken care of. But I think the last level of happiness would be becoming a father.
