Never be with anyone you couldn't imagine yourself being able to live without.

Everyone thinks that a new place or a new identity will jumpstart a new life.

I think my stubbornness has served me well. I just knew at an early age what I wanted to do and I was determined to be able to make it happen, no matter how long it took.

People love stories. They need stories.

When you love what you do, it stops seeming like work and instead becomes necessity.

Do what you love. Live fearlessly and take risks. Don't take no for an answer from anyone - go ahead and prove the naysayers wrong. Believe that anything can be possible.

I think it's crucial to live, play and work passionately. I'm inspired by my husband, my son and the sense of possibility in the world.
