I'm not an actress, I'm a girl who was on reality TV.

A piece of my heart will aways be in Alabama.

I was just a girl from Alabama.

My most prized possession is my coffeemaker!

I'm really into all of these relationship shows.

Just because I work out and eat healthy doesn't mean I don't let myself have fun.

I set my alarm for 7:30 A.M., but it's really hard for me to wake up in the mornings.

I don't really know any other way than to be vulnerable or just be myself.

When you have a group of 30 people together, there's going to be people who don't like each other. That's just simple facts.

I have my own autograph pads.

My family has been really supportive of me and is really happy. They made me who I am and so they trust me and love me and ultimately want me to have love too.

I want to keep my options open and make sure I'm doing the best thing for Hannah.

I try to eat healthy when I can, but no one can take my candy away from my bedside! I always keep it there for a treat when I wake up!

We've got to change the language of how women speak to women and how men speak to women and how we shame them for the decisions that we make.

I have been told that I misrepresent being a Christian. And that has been soul-crushing.

I live my life by certain standards.

I feel like a lot of people that have been in similar situations as I have, reality TV stars, you can make a packaged version of yourself if you want to - I just don't work that way. I can't do it.

I can't pretend that I'm happy or pretend to get emotional when I'm not.

Sometimes, yeah, I wish I would have protected my heart a little more, absolutely.

There are always going to be people who don't understand or want to say something negative. But ultimately I try to put my focus on the people who have been supportive and loving and encouraging throughout my journey.

Everything that I said that I feel like I want, deserve, the type of respect that I want from a man, I still believe that. I still am going to hold those standards for any man in my life.

Going from 'The Bachelorette' to being on 'Dancing with the Stars,' I'm having to work through some things.

I do love country music. And a real musician.

You don't compete in something if that's not your goal, you should always want to succeed.

My journey on 'The Bachelor' was interesting. I definitely grew but had ups and downs.

I have the biggest sweet tooth of anybody.

I have been in love with somebody in my past who lied to me, who cheated on me, and I tried to make it work. But I'm not that girl anymore, and that's been something I've been so proud of.

Life in L.A. has been amazing. It's been really hard, it's been eventful. It's a lot of what ifs and maybes and being hopeful.

I don't know how to date other than on a TV show with 30 guys at one time. I really don't.

There are some times where being on the shows are great. Sometimes it's hard, when it's just like, 'the show must go on,' and there's a TV show that's being done.

I am so supportive of the guys I met on my 'Bachelorette' journey and wish them well. And I'm so glad for the support that some of the guys do show me.

I think every time you go through a difficult relationship, you realize more and more about what you will and you won't have in your next relationship - what you deserve and what you don't deserve.

I'm getting to use my platform as the Bachelorette - on my season - to really make change through my experience.

I'm glad if I can help anybody.

I believe the foundation of love is based on honesty and truth.

I'm honest to a fault.

Being the Bachelorette was an experience unlike anything else. I learned so much about myself during this process and if I were to step into this position again, I'm sure I would learn more.

Even with the heartbreak that I've had, I've felt a lot of love, and I've been given a lot of love too.

I feel like I learned that I am so much stronger than I ever thought I was, not just emotionally, but physically.

I can handle more than I ever thought I could.

I never would have thought that I would be dancing at Radio City.

I didn't aspire to be on 'The Bachelor.' I didn't watch the show. I thought it was for losers truly.

What makes me feel most beautiful is feeling confident and sure of myself and knowing that I am worthy and enough and powerful.

At first, being on the 'Bachelor' and seeing critical comments of myself, it would crush me, but now it's like a daily thing.

I saw pageants as a way to be a role model. I think that was always very important to me, to live my life by a certain way that I was proud of and to have those opportunities for scholarship.

Regardless of any thing that I've done that people might think, 'Oh, well, that deserved a scarlet letter,' that's not how it works.

I have realized that I don't need a husband. I want a husband, but I don't need one.

I love TV and I think it would be cool to be a host one day.

I mean, Kelly might not have the same feelings for me, but I love Kelly Ripa and what she's done.

Life is crazy, but I'm really, really blessed.
