Hour-long TV is no joke. It tests you as a human being. It makes you a stronger person, but it's really crazy.

I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I'm more womanly. I feel sexier.

You talk about meant to be - oh my goodness, I have never done anything else in my life except be a performer.

I tell about some of the female characters from the Bible so girls can be inspired and empowered and uplifted.

I loved work and I loved pouring myself into the work, you know. It was the real life that I had trouble with.

I thank God for creating gay men. Because if it wasn't for them, us fat women would have no one to dance with.

Anybody who has the illusion that you can have a career as long as I have and be a star is kidding themselves.

I'm actually pretty afraid of scary movies, so I can't watch them at night, but I am a fan during the daytime!
