Success doesn't happen overnight. Keep your eye on the prize and don't look back.

Whether I'm on the road or off the road it's really important for me mentally and physically. Physically, when I'm on the road, I work with men that love to eat - I work with former athletes, with men who love to indulge on the road, so I eat like a guy. I have four appetizers, I try their entrees, I eat mine, I like dessert. So I have to make sure that physically, I try to stay in shape. I'm always doing some sort of a workout, and then mentally it just helps a lot with the stress.

My dad used to call me 'the human pretzel' because I was able to bend my body, and because my legs are very long.

Being a woman in a male-dominated industry, you are so afraid of people thinking you are weak.

The way social media is now, and people are with cameras - we all live different lives whether you're in the spotlight or not. I mean, you can't be a boss or an executive of a big time company and act a fool, because there are cameras everywhere and people are going to document it and take pictures. I'm not used to stuff like that.

I think the biggest thing to do - especially if you're a woman trying to succeed in a male-dominated industry - is to just study as much you can and get ready for negativity, backlash, and comments. There's going to be a ton of it.

I think what I try to do with all the naysayers, negative comments, or even people that think you can't do it, I'm trying very hard to use it as motivation and to add to that chip on my shoulder.
