As an artist, I think it's important to always keep growing, and I definitely want to keep challenging myself.

It's sad how people want to see us females go against each other. Never been for that. Never will.

My biggest competition is me.

As soon as the doctor said I could start training again, I was on the treadmill the very next day. Once I got back into it, I worked out two or three times daily.

My faith makes me willing to do things that may look like there's going to be a lot of physical difficulty. And you just go ahead and do it because you truly believe it's the right thing to do.

The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical.

What you see is what you get. My God, I don't have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona.

The most common phrase bandied about these days is 'Oh my God'. People say it automatically all the time - not realising that that's a form of prayer.
