Growing up, I was the preferred hairstylist for all of my friends.

I hated myself for so many reasons, and I thought so many things were my fault that happened to me growing up.

I've just been growing right along. It's painful, but it's a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It's like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you're looking so hot.

If we didn't have understanding of our journey, we wouldn't be able to go on. We'd be stuck, like, 'Why me?'

Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good.

To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others.

The secret of happiness is the determination to be happy always, rather than wait for outer circumstances to make one happy.

I am so happy to be alive. That's the one thing I'd like for people to know. Sometimes people walk by and slip up and say the wrong thing about me, and I'll smile. They wonder why am I smiling. Because I'm happy that I'm alive.
