• On relationships: "But men and women, getting along, it's a joke. We have completely different brains, it's a completely different thing."
• "There are a lot of sacrifices a mother makes when she's raising a child by herself. I saw it when I was growing up, watching all my mother did for me. But it wasn't until recently that I fully understood the price she paid because of how we had to struggle."
• "The person who I have my child with is going to be the right person. I don't want to raise a child by myself. I could do it. But I definitely don't want to. I want to be a mother who has the original father there. And I want to be with that person until I'm 80 years old, sitting out on the porch with our glasses of lemonade, laughing about our lives."
• "I've always been shy and sort of vulnerable. My mom says that when she would drop me off at school, I'd stand back and check out the situation - see if it was safe before I'd join the other kids."
• On becoming a TV star in her teens: "I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded."
• "I started doing radio commercials for Kmart when I was 4. They had to splice all my consonants together because I couldn't talk very well. But these jobs helped my mother and me put food on the table. It took the two of us working."
• On having quit school: "It's one of those choices that I can honestly say was a big mistake. I wish I had a better knowledge of history and the other things I could've learned. Of course, nothing is stopping me from learning now. In fact, I'm probably better prepared."
• "Every single kid in my group of friends at school was from a single-parent family."
• "Women, I think, talk dirtier than men do behind closed doors."
• Describing herself: "Shy - no, really. Serious - often too serious. Bold - I know it's an oxymoron, but I know what I want, and I have a dirty mouth."
• "In the past, I got off on it. The fact that a guy would be so into me from the get-go without really knowing me. That's probably why I had so many bad relationships."
• "I'm a really bad liar. When I fib even a little, I turn bright red."
• "It's always been easy for me to make fun of myself. You have to be able to let yourself look silly, and I'm comfortable with that."
