I'm very comfortable with being productive. I like doing things, and I like creating things. As far as being powerful, I guess I'm comfortable with it. It's not really how I think of myself.

When you have children, you realise you can't plan anything. There's no Plan A, no Plan B. Life will happen and you will go with it.

I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.

I came from the Bronx and a certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things.

Obviously, throughout my career, I've always felt like certain things come to me at the right time. When I look at the work that I've done, it's always very indicative of where I was in my life at the moment.

You have to stand up and say, 'There's nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am; you're the one with the problem!'

You have to take care of yourself, your body, your mind, take care of your soul-be your own keeper.
