I try to basically keep my opinions to myself when it comes to people who are charged with crimes that I don't know anything about.

The challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it's a story about who you want to be.

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

I think people who have good parents come into the world with a strength, yes, and an advantage.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.
