Certainly I'm passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.

I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.

It's about time that people forget that image of strip clubs as seedy places...Rather, today's clubs are capital-intensive female-empowerment zones.

I always try to keep a positive perspective on what's valuable and the importance of restricting that immediate gratification and, most importantly, that who you are isn't the stuff you have.

I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, "Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don't have a choice."

People - whatever their race, religion, sexual preference - deserve to be treated as human beings.
