I'm just always trying to be positive. Negative things happen to everybody. Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.

I really can't tell other people how to live their life or how to approach different things. What I can tell them - and I truly believe this, I don't think it's being naïve and I don't think it's being in denial - I really believe that the way you think influences the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act.

When you raise kids, you want them to grow up and be successful. If they can grow up and be like you, it's quite flattering.

Hope is not just... out in the sky, or not accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.

If you're running around with a negative attitude all the time, you're going to feel down, you're going to have negative results. But if you feel like you're going to make it through and you have positive thoughts, you have a much better chance to survive and be successful and happy.

Life should be fun, and so should your clothes. It's not about sending a message. It's about feeling good about yourself and being who you are.
