I never want to get to the point where it's all about my needs, and the hell with anybody else.

I've got Flossie dog, and she is great. She and I are still in love, 14 years. That's a relationship that works.

I try each day, each month, each year to become a better and better person and to be good to the people I love and let them know how much I appreciate them.

I loved the world of roller derby because I thought it was such an empowering metaphor, that you get out there and do it. It's such a rocker, athletic, capable, cool exhibitionist sport; it's about this great sort of camaraderie.

It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have.

I don't think that life happens by sitting back and waiting. People hold their cards so tight to their chest. Life is short. Tell people you love them. What's the worst that's going to happen?

But it's all about confidence and allowing yourself to put your personality into it. I really am the worst singer on the planet; I make people cry and vomit when I sing.
