I don't subscribe to that school of thought that leadership can be altogether defined by gender.

There is an English saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Women often become these tough ones.

Hard work, courage and commitment - these are the key elements for success.

I have learned from my own experience that if you work hard you will succeed.

I am a person of action. If I see I can bring a positive change, I will go for it, never mind that something might be hard to achieve.

A lower interest rate doesn't make a debt go away.

I wanna smoke pot, but I can't, cause I'm too paranoid.

Life plays the same lovely and agonizing joke on all of us.

Is it possible to say what one really feels?

I think its very important to not be afraid to experience joy in the middle of sorrow.

No person is important enough to make me angry.

The trouble with most people is they think there's only one right way to do anything.
