I'm kind of more on the conservative side.

I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.

There was a French activist and writer, Simone de Beauvoir, who said, 'You are not born woman. You become one' ... Words I live by.

Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.

If you are a kid, reading is really important stuff.

If I die... I'd be so mad at myself that I didn't explore that side of me.

Have an open mind and an open heart. I'm not this bad person. I'm just doing what I have to do.
