We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?

I don't know if we tell women great news about themselves enough. You'd be surprised how often a young woman doesn't hear positive things about herself - not in her home, not at school. It's hard to create a beautiful image for yourself when you've never seen it or heard it.

The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.

Business can change you, and chew you up, and spit you out, and be rid of you, and on to the next thing. That's why it's so important to know who you are and stand up for something.

I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom.

Empower us women and we will change this whole entire world.
