In order to succeed, you can't be afraid to fail. Just do it and don't let anybody tell you you can't.

I grew up asking for everything under the sun for Christmas, but I knew I wasn't going to get it all.

My family and my friends are most important to me. These people are my foundation.

The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.

I think society, in general, is hard on women, period.

I'm a very independent woman.

I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it's a good day. So, give me more!
