My ultimate joy and happiness is being a wife and mother.

Don't let people who live in fear and hate govern how you live.

Empty and cold, but it keep me alive. I gave it my soul, so that I could survive.

I've worked since I was 11 years old, playing music and following the dream, and shaking and moving and doing it. And then, you have cancer and it was like 'Ooooohh.' It was like a big eraser. It was the only thing in my life that had ever made me just stop.

There will always be someone else with a different view than you. I appreciate them and would never say that they are wrong. I hope that they would give me that courtesy also.

I can look at cancer as a disease that picks me out and 'why me,' or I can look at it through love and say, 'This is a wake-up call. This is my body telling me: 'Hey, you're out of balance here. It's time to get in line with yourself.'

Don't let anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.
