I always had a very open mind and a very open heart. I always look for the good in everybody and the God in everybody. I play to that. And I just love people. I love the difference in people. I love getting to know people. I appreciate getting accepted myself, because I know I'm unusual. And I love the unusual in other people.

I was approached about having my own network many, many years ago. There were some people who wanted to start up a network, and I didn't want to get that involved in the business aspect of it.

A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.

Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way. Well that ain't me. I gotta work for everything I've got.

My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.
