I decided to study special education and fell in love with working with individuals with autism. That's what I planned to do with my life.
I decided in '96 to dedicate my life to mostly promoting literacy and education for girls in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff, a tremendous education, incredible opportunity, it changed my life - it was a marathon, and by the end of it I was pretty beat.
I talk to God every single day. And I say, 'God, my life is in your hands, and I trust you with me.'
I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.
When I began singing, it was the first time I was happy in my life. As a baby, I would stop crying when I heard a great singer.
Movement has been one of the few constants in my life, and I always feel a great sense of optimism when I set off to a new place.
Now I'm having the time of my life being on the road with one of the world's all-time great big bands, and performing with symphonies. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I will remember this day for the rest of my life. There is nothing you can say. It's just like you won the match after the earthquake and it just feels great.
I don't have anything to fix! I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't eat carbs. My life is just great now. Normal. Vanilla.
I'm enjoying my life, post-menopause, so much. It's just so great to grow into yourself, and not be bothered with all that tyranny of biology.
Having grown up on 'Star Trek,' I've had one great dream since childhood, and that is to see my life end somewhere other than here on Earth.
I have been really fortunate to have some great experiences in my life, and I look forward to more, and I would really like to have someone special to share those with.
I think my life in general, like that of any human being, has highs and lows, has moments of great light and moments of great darkness.
I'm not a political person. I'm a techie nerd, and I enjoy the techie part. I mean, all my life, I've loved great technology.
Everything that has happened in my life is because of good government and because the United States of America was the greatest nation on the face of the earth.
Modern women - we're very good at keeping ourselves busy. There are PTA meetings, exercising, bake sales at school. I like that my life is not the same every day.
The biggest privilege I've had in my life is being able to make a choice. If you make a choice, it can't be a wrong choice because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.
My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me.
A lot of my life happened in great, wonderful bursts of good fortune, and then I would race to be worthy of it.
