children survival causes
UNICEF is working for the survival of children worldwide. What can we do to get more Americans committed to the cause?
congratulations thinking tv-shows
And I don't think that success can be measured by how many TV shows you're on.
differences important making-a-difference
It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.
degrees stink shows
I could have a degree in music and come on the show, and Simon could still say 'You stink'.
different stills wrapping
I'm not different. I'm not different at all. The wrapping is different but the gift is still the same.
children educational reality
Everyone deserves the best start in life, which is what UNICEF is working to provide the world's most vulnerable children. Education is essential to a child's development. I hope that as an Ambassador I can encourage people to join UNICEF's mission to make education a reality for children throughout the world.
religious thinking
I'm religious. I think this is something God had planned for me.
responsibility america role-models
I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model.
honesty who-i-am what-matters
I like to talk. I'm a terrible dancer. I love my hometown. I have freckles and oversized ears. I'm a geeks. I have tried not to hide who I am or what matters to me.
exercise thinking order
I don't think that there's substantiated evidence that shows that voter fraud is such a rampant problem that we have to put in place measures that people have to pass in order to exercise that constitutional free right. Voting should be -- and is required to be -- a right that is unencumbered. That does not have tests that people must pass.... Anything put in place to restrict that right, or to make it more difficult for people to exercise it, should be outlawed, and should not be allowed.
song taken two
I had been told by a number of people that if you get half of what you want on your first album, you're doing really well. Pretty much every single thing they had was something that I liked. There were maybe one or two songs I didn't like, and they were taken off the album quickly.
tired im-tired knows
I'm tired and I don't know what day it is.
jobs nice good-friend
I'm around a lot of good people who keep me grounded and don't let me get too high above my raisings. I have some good friends who don't talk about my job, and that's nice. Those are the friends who are my favorites. That helps a lot.
notebook mother writing
When I was a kid, the punishment I disliked the most was writing sentences. My mother loved to make me record my transgressions--always a minimum of five hundred times--and she even bought special spiral notebooks for me to fill up.... No matter how many notebooks I went through, there was always another one waiting in the kitchen drawer.
