I'd just as soon freeze to death.

I did a lot of hiking and I loved it.

Self care isn't selfish. It's self esteem.

I get lonely when I'm a Playstation widow.

Some Kentucky fans are a little more subdued.

My vocation is to make my life an act of worship

I've always been crazy for the American songbook.

Getting married is an incredible act of hopefulness.

It is better to begin in the evening than not at all.

I've been devoted to Alison Krauss for many, many years.

No, I don't tolerate pressure from anyone about anything.

God doesn't make mistakes and timing unfolds as it should.

You have so much power to bring awareness, prevention and change.

Yeah, I've had the privilege to know a lot of really talented people.

I think that, as with marriage, you just know when it's time to have kids.

I think that being perceptive and having interests is nothing but an asset.

Everything I've done has been personally fun, important, and meaningful to me.

Your private relationship with yourself is a spring that will feed every other factor.

I was always told I was special. And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose.

It's up to us to take pop culture back and to express quality and dignity for both boys and girls.

More often than what you're suggesting, I find people are surprised that I have an urban side to me.

My mothers into frilly dresses and eyelashes and hairstyles from the 1970s. We always argue about that.

I can't think of anything I want and need that I don't already have but at the same time, I'm not sated.

It's unconscionable to breed with the number of children who are starving to death in impoverished countries.

Regardless, we are a two career household, and it's Dario's season, and I'm really excited about going racing.

The empowerment of girls and women is an essential tool to preventing the HIV/AIDS emergency from exploding any further

You don't stay married for 35 years by accident. I think that that's willful and intentional and something that both people really want.

I think it's easy for me to connect to some people, and I don't know if that's the same thing as falling in love whereas before, I might have said it was.

It doesn't matter what you've done in the past - what matters are the choices you make right now. God gives you the chance to start over with every breath.

I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I'm living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone.

Both my husband and I give a lot of ourselves in what we do because that is our public lives but in my private life, I have an intrinsic right to be left alone.

Cross-generational sex is the phenomenon in which young girls are given material goods in exchange for sex. All girls are vulnerable to it, particularly orphans.

Both my husband and I give a lot of ourselves in what we do because that is our public lives; but in my private life, I have an intrinsic right to be left alone.

When we were growing up, we were so poor that our heritage was the only thing we had. Mama would say, 'Kids, pour more water in the soup. Better days are coming.'

I have a lot of variety within me, and the dream role, I think, is actually a compilation of parts that express different aspects of my persona and personal interests.

I think that we give the impression, to carry on your metaphor, that we go a little faster than we actually do. I'm fairly lazy so I'm always interested in slowing down.

I have said countless times that unless you are delivering a product and service that is really needed and unless you are doing it really well, you don't stick around for 80 years.

Ruby in Paradise and the intensity and quality that I was able to experience on Smoke were equally as important to me as working on this movie every day for three-and-a-half months.

A wonderful pastor I know once told me, "Perfectionism is the highest order of self-abuse." So now I try to remind myself that if I engage in perfectionism, I am abusing myself. Period.

People say that to me and I think what unites all my characters is that they are hurt; it's most accurate to say I play characters that are hurt but are responding to their environment.

A lot of people over the years have been doing yoga and I think even more these days are expressing an interest in it. So there are a lot of manifestations of spirituality here in town.

And of course there's so much music in and around our family. I had a piano during Christmas because it's obviously useful through the season. There are so many people, songwriters, who are around.

The way things happen on social media is so abusive and everyone needs to take personal responsibility for what they write and not allowing this misinterpretation and shaming culture on social media to persist.

As a Goodwill Ambassador for YouthAIDS, I've learned that the face of AIDS is increasingly young and female. By educating young people and empowering them to make the right choices we can stop the spread of HIV/AIDS

The amount of gender violence that I experience is absolutely extraordinary. And a significant part of my day today will be spent filing police reports at home about gender violence that's directed at me in social media.

Abstinence, being faithful and correct and consistent condom use are the only ways to successfully reach everyone when discussing HIV prevention. I believe that the abstinence message alone does not solve the AIDS epidemic.

I have a very ecumenical faith. I have a very inclusive faith. There's a quote I love from recovery literature that says, "The realm of the spirit is roomy and broad. It is open to all." I've absolutely staked my life on that.

And it blew my mind when I started to get wind of the fact that they actually liked me being around. That was humbling, because Kentucky basketball is a big deal, and I am not the biggest fan - I am just the most notorious one.

I do not want to give my power, my self-esteem, or my autonomy, to any person, place, or thing outside myself... The only thing that matters is how I feel about myself, my personal integrity, and my relationship with my Creator.
