There is something that happens when you get emancipated. You approach life differently. You eat differently. You respect yourself more. You respect the gift you have been given.

There's something about having people around you giving you support that is - it's motivating, and once I got that support from people then I believed I could do anything.

Success can also cause misery. The trick is not to be surprised when you discover it doesn't bring you all the happiness and answers you thought it would.

There's a dark side to everything.

What people have to realize is that if one has a firm belief in God and the spirit then one does not make statements that are negative and untrue.

As long as I do not take myself too seriously I should not be too badly off.

My hat goes off to anybody who can sit down and put their heads together. I am ready for something like that because I am free and I am happy and I have time. There were a lot of things in the way before. I have nothing but time, and I love getting older.
