I believe people are in our lives for a reason. We're here to learn from each other.

I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.

Education is key. We have to keep girls in school and give them the same opportunities that boys have. They need access to vocational training and mentorship, as well. It's an issue of gender equality, which is fortunately a hot topic right now, but we need to keep at it and not rest on our laurels.

I was a good liar as a child.

People always ask if I was really voted Most Bizarre Girl in high school. But that one's actually true. I was living in Michigan in a very conservative town and had a nose-ring and a shaved head and did kind of strange things.

I’m trying to accept where I’m at, not run from it.

Thinking man's crumpet? Well, it's more flattering than being a lobotomised man's crumpet, I suppose.
