I've taken my cue from people here and from viewers, especially survivors-who said, 'When it's time to literally flip your wig, you'll know.'

My mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'

You have to CHANGE the way you THINK in order to CHANGE the way you FEEL

We are all a little bit stronger than we think we are.

You have to be willing to put yourself in position for good things to happen

Generally in the Little League you're up against a good pitcher who throws like hell. What does the coach say? Get a walk. Isn't that beautiful way to learn to hit? For four years you stand up there looking for a walk.

As I like to say, take the shot, even if your knees are shaking.
