I don't think you learn as much about yourself when you are moving forwards as when you have fallen backwards. That's when you really learn who you are. And reach for the things that have propelled you forward and made you a better person.

I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.

I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.

Weight issues, race issues will always be there and if you allow them to get to you and you allow them to affect you then yes they affect you. But my thing is I have so many other things to worry about I can't worry about other people's perception of me.

My faith is tested daily.

If you go through life and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.
