We have an epidemic of insecure people in our society today.

Ain’t nothing like a good cry.

There are always people always asking you for something. But I feel like I have a foundation. I have a supporting cast where it doesn’t bother me too much.

It never mattered to me that people in school didn’t think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it – though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, ‚I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.‘

People always tell you, ‚Be humble. Be humble.‘ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!

Don’t be humble… you’re not that great.

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.

I have inhaled, exhaled everything.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can’t get it out, I start feeling bad about myself – a lot of self-loathing.

I shook up the world, I shook up the world.

I am not saying I am the best manager in the world. But I’m quite good.

I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but I spend so much time on their lives, I don’t have much of a personal life of my own. I have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.

I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

I’m tender on the inside.

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.

To do nothing is also a good remedy.

Therapy? I don’t need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.

It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

Beauty is not caused. It is.

And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that’s fine with me!

Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.

The only thing I know is I ain’t changing my brand. I know what I believe. I’m confident in what I know. And I’m gonna say it. And if folks like it, wonderful. If they don’t like it, I understand.

Attention to health is life’s greatest hindrance.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

In an interconnected age when opportunistic adversaries can work in tandem to destroy stability and prosperity, our country needs to regain its strategic footing. We need to bring the clarity to our efforts before we lose the confidence of the American people and the support of potential allies.

I like to take it easy.

All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final.

When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, ‚I don’t have time.‘ But that’s the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.

Don’t program yourself to break down as you age with thoughts that decline is inevitable. Time may be passing for our bodies, but because they house our ageless souls, we never need to see ourselves as old and infirm.

It’s an offseason. These days are valuable for everybody.

Sleep is all about recovering. So if you’re not sleeping, you’re not recovering. And if you’re going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I’m up at 5:30 the next day.

I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I’ll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don’t taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. It means to think of something over and over.

Success is the child of audacity.
