I wanted to be on my own and get out of the house. We were the kind of kids that - we - obeyed our parents. If they said no, you don't ask why.

Theres nothing more depressing than having everything and still feeling sad. We must learn to water our spiritual garden.

I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual. But I don't believe in things like guilt.

The pain is necessary. Sometimes pain is the teacher we require, a hidden gift of healing and hope.

It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special. It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.

I study once in a while. But my parents never pushed us into anything. Until we were 18, my mother would make us go with her to Kingdom Hall, and when we turned of age, she let us choose what we wanted to.

Self-expression is my goal, I want to be real with my feelings. Singing and dancing and all the joy that goes with performing come from my heart. If I can't feel it, I won't do it.
