My daughter doesn't want to go to school because she knows 'the men' are watching for her. They jump out of the bushes and from behind cars and who knows where else, besieging these children just to get a photo.

I will not marry again. There is no need.

I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.

Beauty is not just physical. It's about what you stand for, how you live your life.

I always had to diet. I'm diabetic, so it's a lifestyle for me anyway just to stay healthy and not end up in the hospital.

My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.
