I love Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert - they write from the heart. But it's hard to find a country music lover in L.A. None of my friends really listen to it and they hate getting in the car with me because I just blast Taylor Swift.

Yes I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.

The year most of my high school friends and I got our driver's permits the coolest thing one could do was stand outside after school and twirl one's car keys like a lifeguard whistle. That jingling sound meant freedom and power.

Forget the damned motor car and build the cities for lovers and friends.

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died all his friends went to the funeral in one car.

I learned from Mr. Wrigley early in my career that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.

Some people work hard in this business and become really popular really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.

I have several writer friends but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you're able to do things for your friends or your family which means that they can have something special in their lives too.

It's tough because a lot of my friends in normal life a lot of my friends in the entertainment business and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay. Just to say something spiteful and hurtful I don't get it... if it was true and I was gay I'd embrace it and I'd tell you guys about it and I'd celebrate it.

I remember when I first started in the business I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

I have made some of the best friends that I've got in this business.

I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family friends co-workers business associates and others.

I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. I don't spend much time fixing myself up or trying to look cool. I live like a normal person and even though I'm in a very high-profile business I really don't let it affect the way I live.

Business you know may bring you money but friendship hardly ever does.

The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation his friends his pleasures patrons and acquaintances are his capital.

But I believe in fair trade and I will tell you I have many many friends heading up corporations and people that do just business in China they say it's virtually impossible. It's very very hard to come into China. And yet we welcome them with open arms.
