The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall.

I think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist... or maybe even a pessimist.

I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.

I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.

No matter what the situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's the most important thing.

I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.

I am never going to sound like Johnny Mathis.
