In almost any situation, it is far more devastating to keep your icy cool while the other person gets herself in a flush-cheeked, teary-eyed hot mess yelling in your face.

For me it's always God, family, and then my work.

Be true to yourself, and stick with who you are through thick and thin without letting anyone dilute your essence.

I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.

In this life, you have to risk big to win big.

Be stingy with your money! Don't splurge at the mall - and definitely don't give it to your boyfriend!

The greasier, the better.
