I don't do anything by myself. I have a whole crew to get me ready every day.

The commitment to give of yourself and the knowledge that the time is right are what's important. The thing is, I suppose, a younger person may not correctly divine the right time, because of lack of life experience, so the older woman may have the advantage of truly knowing if it's right or not.

There is strength in numbers.

We grew up as poor people but we never knew poverty. I still love and miss the Somalia I grew up in. Things changed, when my father became a diplomat later on.

The one thing you learn as you get older is that the body will do what the body wants. All you can do is try to guide it a little.

Don't be afraid to walk away from things that are just not right for you.

If I feel frustrated in a situation, I take a deep breath and walk away.
