I’m a very fearless person.
Small things make me anxious – like social things – but I have no big fears because I have faith in my heart.
When I was growing up, I thought quicksand was going to be a much bigger fear to contend with on a day‑to-day basis. It hasn’t proved to be a bother yet, but there’s still time.
A crippling accident.
Dishonesty and being late for appointments.
Any person trying to uplift mankind.
A big loaded baked potato and a good book with time to eat it and read it.
The fact that sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.
Singing onstage—and everyone walking around me saying, “Look how happy she looks.”
Well, I’m proud of all of them. I think the one that’s most personal to me is the lil’ Coat of Many Colors, because it talks about my mom, my parents, and kind of gives you an insight. It also covers bullying, acceptance and all that.
