There are a lot of male egos out there that cannot deal with highly successful women. And it's their problem.

You have to learn to be patient and not give up. Look to your parents; they need to be there for you. But having spiritual faith will get you through anything.

It's important that women support women. It gives me a great sense of well-being to know that I can make a difference in people's lives.

Don't rest on your laurels. There's always going to be someone behind you who's going to be better than you. So you need to get out there and keep working.

When people say no to me, I say, "Don't say no to me. There is a waywe can work this out."

When I was younger there was something in me. I had passion. I may not have known what I was going to do with that passion, but there was something-and I still feel it. It's this little engine that roars inside of me and I just want to keep going and going.

Don't ever lose sight of who you are and your own power.
