Whenever I get frustrated, I tell myself, you could be working at a 7-Eleven right now, so never take for granted what you do for a living.

I can`t stand unpacking.

If God wanted us to be naked, why did he invent sexy lingerie?

You just have to keep believing in yourself.

I realize it`s probably best to keep my politics to myself.

There`s not one cast member of 90210 who didn`t throw a tantrum to two themselves.

If I kind of like a guy, then I`m a fantastic flirt. But with a guy I truly like, I get painfully shy.

All my fans tell me what a glamorous life I have, but I tell them how hard I work and how many nights I spend alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom.

I don`t think you should do things in your personal life differently because you`re a role model.

To be a bitch or not to be a bitch, that is the question.

That`s something I go through every day - you know - Am I good enough to act?

Your life changes. Everything has to be done perfectly, and I didn`t follow that. I lived my life as if I wasn`t in the public eye. I thought, `I`m young. I have the right to experience new things, and if I want to go to a bar and get drunk, that`s my prerogative.`

I`m a conservative. I was an avid supporter of Ronald Reagan; I thought he was fabulous.

I still get nervous on dates. I`ll be sitting at dinner with a guy and I have to excuse myself and go to the bathroom because I can`t breathe.

This is a free country, and nobody should be criticized for their political beliefs. We`re all allowed to have our opinions.

My inner child is not wounded.

Five minutes before I went on, I looked at my manager and said, I`m going to get booed. I know it`s going to happen. And you`re responsible because you put me on here. It was horrible. I`ve never been more hurt in my entire life.

I`m from the South. I`m a Southern Baptist. I have a conservative point of view. I`m a Republican.

Everybody deserves a second chance in this world. That`s basically all I ask.

I have never had anything done. I`ve been asked if I had breast implants. Whether I did or not, it`s nobody`s business but my own.

Have you ever felt like a phone call that`s been disconnected?

If somebody wants to have plastic surgery, more power to them. I think there`s a point where you go overboard.

I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I`ve ever done. Once I was married, I didn`t want to be a failure, so I stuck it out for six months, which was about six months too long.

I definitely lived my life like I wasn`t in the public eye.

For a while I couldn`t leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone, I`d get self-conscious.

I realize that the majority of people in the entertainment business happen to be Democrats. I have no problem with that. And they should have no problem with the fact that I`m a Republican.

I`m not a violent person and I don`t hit people.

"I`ve been very, very, very happily single since October - I ended my previous relationship, and it thrills me to no end. I`m just sort of hanging out and being a single girl and enjoying the moment. I think to just be a girl and have fun is so incredibly important." - commenting on the state of her life, February 2005

"Even when I`m called in for an audition or anything, and even when I have to meet other actors/tresses, or be in front of the camera, I get goosebumps."

(On the tabloid articles) "You know, as far as I`m concerned, whatever they write, um, is so-- it`s consisted of so many different lies that it`s not even worth justifying it."

"Let me start by saying it wasn`t like I walked out one day and said, `I quit.` It was a very long process of quitting the show. Aaron got as fed up with me as I was with the show, and I think it was because the notoriety was too much. People were hating the character and I couldn`t take the abuse that came with that. People couldn`t separate me from her and I got sick of people assuming that I was as naughty and bad as Brenda was. It was all very hurtful." - Cleo Magazine, August 2000
