I don't KNOW a LOT of PEOPLE who achieve what they have REALLY DREAMED of as a little girl.

Ever SINCE I was a little GIRL I've had this affinity to CONNECT with spirits and TALK to them.

A toddling little girl is a CENTRE of COMMON feeling which MAKES the most dissimilar people understand each other.

I wanted to be a theater actress, but I THOUGHT it would be easier to GET to NEW York and the theater if I had a NAME than if I just walked the STREETS as a little girl from California.

I have been writing SONGS and poems since I was a little GIRL. I started writing short SCRIPTS, which EVOLVED into the idea for a BOOK.

I'm thrilled to start my family with a little GIRL! My BOYFRIEND and I couldn't be happier!

As a little girl, my dollhouse ALLOWED me to imagine a big, PERFECT, grown-up LIFE in which I'd be effortlessly DOMESTIC.

When I am playing BASEBALL, I GIVE it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don't TAKE it home. My little GIRL who is sitting out there wouldn't know the difference between a third STRIKE and a foul ball. We don't talk about baseball at home.

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little GIRL who was so passionate about ANIMALS who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through COLLEGE. Everyone laughed at my DREAMS. I was supposed to be a SECRETARY in Bournemouth.

When you're a LITTLE GIRL, you kind of GRAVITATE towards all of the princesses and THINGS.

When I was a LITTLE GIRL, rocking my little dolls, I remember thinking I WOULD be the world's best MOM, and so far I've DONE it.

When Chynna was born, the FIRST thing I said when they PLACED her in my ARMS was, 'I'm going to have so much fun with this little girl.' And I have. I've tried to guide her, MAKE her life HAPPY, and just let her prepare for life.

When I was a little GIRL, I dreamt of winning GRAND slams and being No. 1 in the world. That dream stays the same as long as you're doing the career that you're on. I think it would be SILLY for that to CHANGE.

This is what I've always wanted to do ever SINCE I was a little girl. Coming from dance and THEATER and what was accessible to me in my hometown, it was all I did after school and on the weekends. The idea of making my hobby into my job was the ULTIMATE quest.
