A person's self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks.

Although some people will say it's a cliché, I think not having had a father when I was growing up affect me negatively because I didn't have a good role model to follow.

I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.

Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.

If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.

It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.

First of all, I'm not pretty. I'm not a world class beauty, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just a guy. I was slow going and stuff like that. I was just never that brand of news.
