I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'

I'm inspired by many of my friends, colleagues, and the extraordinary people I've been fortunate enough to meet along the way.

Everything you want to be, you already are. You're simply on the path to discovering it.

My mother was raised very, very strict Catholic in the Midwest. There was so much fear and intimidation [in the faith]. So, growing up, I was always looking for my connection. I've found myself praying before meals, before bed; there's always been this gratitude for things that are bigger than me.

It's when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.

I'm a very caring person.

I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.
