"I have a couple of hidden talents (laughs). I can throw a great spiral with a football and I can also get ready to go out very, very fast. I can shower, get ready and go out with makeup in a half-hour and look fine. How's THAT for a hidden talent?!" - Christa Miller.http://www.christamiller.org/christa-miller-quotes-2.php
