I'm learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.
If you've been doing all you can and it's not happening for you, go out and have you a good old time. Put on your sexy dress and move on.
There's definitely a dangerous feeling when you're in love-it's giving your heart to someone else and knowing that they have control over your feelings. I know for me, who always tries to be so tough, that's the dangerous thing.
Everyday we see your heart and character, inspiring all of us to give more of ourselves.'You are the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be.
At the Billboard Awards my skirt was so tight they had to lift me on stage.
We live in different cities. But we started -- and most people don't know this -- when we were 9 years old. It's been amazing, the things that we've accomplished. There just comes a point where you have to challenge yourself and try new things. ... But we're still best friends.

Have your own life before you become somebody's wife.
I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.
The Pink Panther is legendary, but a lot of people my age haven't ever seen the original. So, I think it's great to bring it back for my generation, and to expose them to where that theme song which still sounds so modern and that legendary image of a pink cat came from. It's great to be a part of that, because it's history.
