My fondest memories are generally the day after Thanksgiving. I get the total decorating Christmas itch.

Christmas is a time of year that's so romantic.
I love the spirit of Halloween and the energy that comes with it.
Entertainment is such a non-reality.
I get the celebrity game now - you can go from being hot to fighting to be seen.
It feels good to be strong.
I'm not a perfect human being.
Everyone has that inner voice, the one that's a Negative Nancy. I'd say to ignore that voice and to be confident and follow your heart.
I'm a horrible drawer. I have no artistic ability in my hands.
I wish I could wear clothes straight off the runway.
I was a competitive swimmer in middle school and high school.
I can understand why guys wouldn't be into 'Glee.' You know, that's a pretty heavy musical show. That show does, like, six songs in an episode.
I'm a huge Top 40 lover.
I don't have to be a 'gazillionaire;' what's important to me is to just being able to work.
America is a country with so much opportunity. I'm living the blessings of what this country offers.
I have always loved the Summer Olympics.
Even if I weren't in Hollywood, I would feel pressure to look a certain way.
To be honest, I'm really more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of a girl.
If you deprive yourself of something, you're going to want it more.
I am just the person who didn't want to settle for not having everything I dreamed of.
I grew up in dance class, so I was looking in mirrors all day.
The thing is, work is the thing I love the most.
I have an amazing relationship with food.
I love my body when I'm in the best shape I can be in.
No, I'm not a scientologist.
I still have to count on my hands! I'll be in a restaurant doing a tip and I'll be like, 'What's 20% of this?'
I'm so unprofessional on set it's not even funny.
I enjoy going to church.
I love entertaining.
The reason I haven't had kids yet is because I was so focused on my acting career, hoping I could get something to break.
Your traditions change from when you are child to when you become an adult.
One thing I learned about people is that they love to give their opinions about things.
I'm a spiritual person.
I truly believe that God provides.
I think we all depend on a significant other, and we think if they leave me, I'll die. But that's not true. We're all much stronger than we think we are.
Marriage gives you a new respect for a person.
I don't really dress up for Halloween.
Broadway is a definite symbol of New York. It's classic New York.
I've long wanted to find a charitable cause to really get involved with and be passionate about. I get invited to a lot of charity events to sing, and I am happy to help and bring a source of entertainment, but I'm sort of disconnected from them.
I have family members who live in Africa. Because of the family that lives there, I know what is happening in these countries, and it seems so silly to me that diseases like malaria are so prevalent when they are entirely preventable. Yet children are still dying every 35 seconds.
I have intentionally not pursued musical theater.
I actually studied in college, for the three semesters that I stayed in school, I don't recommend that, but I studied theater, and in high school I was involved in the drama department.
I love listening to classical music.
I feel like I'll always be a brunette, that's just who I am, but I love that I can switch it up and be whatever I want to be.
