It's taken me 40-something years, but I embrace the curl. My littlest daughter has the same hair. She likes it when my hair is curly, so I wear it for her.

I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, 'Oh you take such risks,' or 'You're brave'. And I'm like 'Well, if you only knew - inside I'm really frightened!'

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I've always felt is a sign of respect for others.

Whatever you do in life, don't give up on your own dreams.

It's very easy to fall in love when things are great, but the way to really fall in love is when things aren't great.

There are moments when you feel as if you have been blessed for a while, moments when you think this is perfect, moments when you start to believe that even for an hour, even for a year, it might all happen. So I'm determined to keep making it get better and better.

I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.
