I did karate for about three years. When I was going into Miss Texas, my mom said, 'Let's not do karate this year. Let's not have any knocked-out teeth on the stage.'

The most important mark I will leave on this world is my son.

I'm a wife and a mother. I don't want to be immature; I have to be ready at all times.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

When the militias came to Wau, they would blast out 'Thriller' as they moved down the dirt streets.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
