I have incredible stamina- the what-do-I-got-that-they-ain't-got kind of stamina.

One of my best moves is to surround myself with friends who, instead of asking, 'Why?' are quick to say, 'Why not?' That attitude is contagious.

A friend of mine says that perfection is a road, not a destination.

What we're all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection.

I hear people say all the time, "I'm not really religious, but I consider myself spiritual." I definitely have always been spiritual, being raised by my grandmother on that little acre in Mississippi, indoctrinated, born into the church and the ways of the church.

You become what you believe - not what you wish or want but what you truly believe. Wherever you are in life, look at your beliefs. They put you there.

I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me.
