As far as men go, they never gave me a chance to be me; they were always scared that somebody was going to take me.

You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

It's that first step-getting out the door-that's the toughest. If you can do that, you've already won.

Negative words are powerful boomerangs so be careful what you say about people and yourself.

I'm striving toward this acting thing. I'm definitely gonna work hard on that, whatever comes my way, I'm gonna work hard on it.

Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.
