I like looking feminine and I enjoy being a role model. I enjoy being a woman. It all comes down to having the confidence to be who you are.
You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.
With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.

I definitely do things on my terms, it may not seem that way but I actually do.
I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.
I don't like people looking at me; I hate the attention.
I feel like I've reached an age where I can relax a little bit with the knowledge of what I've been through, take all that experience and use it. I love the challenge of trying to get back to where I've been, and beyond it.

I make no apologies.
I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.

I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.
