You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.
Why not just live in the moment, especially if it has a good beat?
I’ve finally stopped running away from myself. Who else is there better to be?
One way to feel good about yourself is to love yourself… to take care of yourself.
A lasting relationship isn’t about marriage. It’s about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work.
What is happiness? Happiness, I think, has to come in the beginning, truly, from feeling a sense of well-being within yourself.

I am compelled to continuously see the bright side. It is in my DNA. My kids look at me and say: ‘Mom, you’re so happy!’ And I do feel happy. I feel joyful inside. I can’t explain it.
When I started go-go dancing on tables for a living, I didn’t want to tell my mom or my dad. I made 25 dollars a night, and I was able to make my rent, with the four girls I lived with.
I have witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile.
