[On being overweight:] If I tried to haul ass, I would have to make two trips.

To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.

I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

God is in everything I do and all my work glorifies Him.
