mean people lines
If I'm signing autographs and I see one hundred people in a line I've got to remind myself, "That person is one one-hundredth of my day, but to them I'm their day." You know what I mean? Unless they meet J.Lo later on.
want voters broads
I want everyone to vote. I want everyone to be a part of electing officials. Because when we are not a part, when we don't have a very broad voter base, then we don't have true representation.
law numbers issues
We need to make sure that the laws we're passing are protecting people. And we should not be voting against something that makes progress just because it doesn't make as much progress as we'd like to see made. As much as I might like to see any number of issues progress in larger steps, I understand that some of these things happen in smaller steps. And so for that reason, progress is progress. And success is success.
believe who-i-am people
If other people choose to believe because I do, great. I want to show people God's love through what I do and who I am. At the same time, I don't feel I need to pass out Bibles at the concert.
god ideas appreciate
I appreciate the idea of allowing people to have their own private walk with God. To me, God is about love, not condemnation.
teacher counting
But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
children thinking one-day
I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.
jobs hair shopping
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
influence fame
It's not the money. It's not the fame. It's the influence.
art children together
I never want to produce anything that a family could not enjoy together. I never want to create art that would embarrass my own children later.
song strong kids
Clive [Davis] tried to tell me that saying certain words in a song- or as he says, ‘putting some balls into it'- isn't bad, it's just strong emotion. Well, there are certain words and emotions I don't want kids hearing, and I'm not changing because they think it's going to sell better. This is going to sound horrible, but I got 12 million votes doing what I did.
tv-shows special tvs
I'm really not that special. Really, I'm not. I was on a big TV show, but it was just a TV show.
teacher kids differences
It's important that I make a difference in some way. If it's performing and touching someone that way, that's great; if it's being a teacher and helping some kid understand something, that's even better...
children acceptance people
In my ideal world, no child would suffer. Charitable instincts would prevail. There would be global acceptance of all different types of people.
