Bethany: I guess I've sort of always wanted to be an actress, except when I was five, which, I did want to be the Queen of England.
Bethany: Musical theater is my passion. If I could afford it, I would just do dinner theater and live a simple life.
Bethany: (from her official website) Michael and I will have children (lots of them) someday.
Bethany: I think I'd dedicate "If You're Missing (Come On Home)" to my fans...this is the song I get the most mail about. It really is just a dialogue between me and God. It's what I think His heart is for everyone.
Bethany: It's hard to pick a favorite song from my record, because there's always something I would change on every song, depending on what's happening in my life when I go back and listen to the master recordings--but I do have an affinity for Desperate Gown.
Bethany: My calves make me insecure. I don't know, I think there's a lot of things that come in and out, but nothing that sticks long enough that it becomes a huge problem. There's not one thing that I consistently battle with. I think insecurity is a battle itself. Wherever it hits you. It comes and goes in different ways, in different circumstances.
Bethany: Singing is something that I always do.They [One Tree Hill producers] heard me singing on set. I told them that I've been singing since I was little.
Bethany: It's not so much to stay in any particular shape as it is just to feel healthy for my body type. My body takes pretty quickly to physical activity... it just sort of wakes up and sucks in! Lol! I enjoy Pilates, 15-20 minutes on the treadmill, free weights, dancing, walking... the basics, I guess.
Bethany: I can love or hate acting depending on whether the material is good or bad, but I'll always love singing. As far as winning an Oscar or a Grammy... I don't care much for awards.
Bethany: Billy Joel would be a dream to work with. He's a musical genius. Paula Cole, too... she's really, really underrated.
Bethany: Christmas will always be number one on my list. You feel cozy for like two months straight. You sing songs, all the stores look exactly the same. There's no other holiday where everybody decorates. There's a joy and a spirit of excitement that's in the air around Christmas time. It's the best!
Bethany: I'm working on a demo and putting down tracks this week, actually. I write all my own music. It's like Sheryl Crow's and Joni Mitchell's stuff. I'm totally staying away from the Britney Spears thing — I don't want to be marketed and packaged.
Bethany: I can't cook or do crafts. And put a soccer ball or a football in my hand, and I wouldn't know what to do with it, but if you give me a creative outlet, usually, I'd be able to figure something out.
Bethany: My personal style is just really easy, non-fashion concerned. I have a lot of jeans and tee shirts.
Bethany: My passion. Music is in my veins. Just being able to mix that passion with my other passion, for acting, would be unbelievable. I have to brush up on my dancing, but I'd definitely love to hit Broadway.
Bethany: I am an actor. I get paid for what I do but it doesn't matter. God forbid I say this, but I would be doing it for free because I love it. If I could, I'd do this every day of my life.
Bethany: I'm a girlie girl. I just like being feminine.
Bethany: If I ever got married and my husband wanted me to give all this up and follow him wherever he wanted me to go I would. I love acting because it's fun to play and I love music but I will be writing music for the rest of my life, forever. I'd be just as happy doing community-theater as I am doing a TV show. Doesn't much matter to me!
Bethany: That's the exciting thing. I still don't know what I'm going to be. I love acting. I would love to be an English teacher. I would love to be a housewife and have a chateau in the South of France, I would love to be a singer that travels to cafes around different towns. I am loving to live out my life right now and see where it goes, it's exciting.
Bethany: I don't believe the human heart was made to be put through the abuse of the dating world.
Bethany: I've learned so much, especially with Chad. He is really good with camera and lighting and technical stuff. He has learned a lot about that and he's really good to work with and so I have learned so much technically. It's been amazing.

Bethany: Now, don't roll your eyes. I know this is the second time I'm changing my name, but I promise it's the last. I am so excited to be honoring my husband by taking his surname and I wanted to share it with all of you. SO, as of 2006, you'll have to get used to me as Bethany Galeotti. Perhaps even sooner, as you may notice the change in the One Tree Hill opening credits.
Bethany: I swear I am the only actress around with fake brown hair and natural blond roots! Up until now, I've always played the blond ingenue part on The WB. In real life, Hilarie [Burton] and I have the same hair, blond and curly.
(On her character Haley James of One Tree Hill) Bethany: I'd like to see her before and after a breakup. I think Haley is much better suited for someone else. I see her with someone very sophisticated and charming, maybe an older guy, where she doesn't have to be the one driving the relationship.
Bethany: I never rule anything out, I just follow where I'm lead.
