Statistics say that I'm supposed to be in jail. And I'm not supposed to be alive.

When it all comes down to it, life isn't about how much we get - it's about how much we share.

What I've never wanted to do was allow myself to be put in a box, so I've tried to do a lot of different things so this is a step in trying to do something different so we'll see how it goes. I'm under no illusions that this is slam-dunk. I did the best I could and that's all I can rely on.

It's always been easier for me to have a costume to hide behind.

I try not to take on the weight or the burden of it. Once it's on the paper, I try to leave it, because I want to surrender to what I'm supposed to write about.

I never thought of myself as a mogul, but it's really great to be in that position.

It's so important to forgive people for their wrongs in your own life because every bit of it was for a reason-it was to form the person that you are.
