I'm not like anyone. I'm me.

The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.

The things that are important to me - being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist - are all things that were borne out of great passion.

I've always sung in the shower. Now I make the stage a mental shower in order not to get too uptight and enjoy it.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

There's still so much more to do. I can't sit back and be complacent, and none of us should be. I get around now in a wheelchair, but I get around.

I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit
