I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.

I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

Okay listen, you think I'm so inconsequential? Then try this on for size. All those who see unworthiness when they look at me and are given thereby to denying me value - to you I say, I'm not talking about being AS GOOD as you. I hereby declare myself BETTER than you.

The journey has been incredible from its beginning.

My mother was the most amazing person. She taught me to be kind to other women. She believed in family. She was with my father from the first day they met. All that I am, she taught me.

I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.

If the image one holds of one's self contains elements that don't square with reality, one is best advised to let go of them, however difficult that may be.
