Neve’s Personal Quotes:

"Lighting candles and believing that you can create white light around you wards off evil...
I don't believe in set spells or any set religion, but I believe we all have energy we can focus."

"Things have happened quickly for me -- and they can stop as quickly as they started.
But right now... I feel wonderful."

"Jeff and I have been together for over six and a half years," she writes. "We've been through a lot, and we've learned much from each other. However, we have come to realize that both of us have some growing to do, and we need to be on our own for a while. There has always been much more depth to our relationship than the press or public could see. Jeff and I love each other very much, and that's going to continue."

"Tourette Syndrome means a lot to me because my younger brother suffers from it. There's a great lack of awareness about what Tourette syndrome is. People don't realize that despite having this condition, it is not necessarily debilitating. Tourette sufferers can and do lead very successful lives. It is a very complex condition, but people do cope with it amazingly well. Educating the public about Tourette syndrome is very important to me."

"I think every woman has thought about stripping. I've thought about that. I wouldn't do it, not in public anyway. What about that is interesting? I think for a woman the challenge is to... is almost in a sense how many can you attract? You find out where your sexual power is in that sense."

"I have got arthritis in my neck and my hips. I have had surgery on my feet. I have had snapping hip syndrome, tendonitis, shin splints, bursitis... I have had almost every injury imaginable."

"I'm always sad I left dance. I'm just in my element when I'm in the dance world. I'm so much more content in my heart when I'm sitting on a dance floor in a studio. It sounds so cheesy but it's just my home, it's where I grew up, I've been doing it since I was 6. It makes so much more sense to me than anything else I do."
