I fell in love with the pageant world. People that don't compete in pageants, I think they have a negative feeling for them, but really, they are incredible.

I guess my goal is to design my own walker. The walkers with the big tennis balls, no one wants to use those. I would rather crawl down the street in New York City than use those.

I think that the pageant world overall is pretty spectacular, it just makes you feel good about yourself and leaves you with great friends.

Accomplishment begins with two words: 'I'll try.'

From day one, I've always been a girly girl. In pre-school I loved driving around in my super Barbie car.

The only thing weaker than a toddler's handshake is their immune system.

Letting go of the security of what is commonly understood requires a big leap of faith and a willingness to fall.

Life is must be filled with endless hope.

Self-confidence is built from the inside out and has little or nothing to do with outside circumstances.

You have to have your face in the food. These days people think a tattoo and a bottle of Sriracha equals success.

Charm never made a rooster.

Sometimes, success almost haunts you. You want to be the best at everything you do and know you have to work hard.

Complaint is poverty.

The Russian economy is way down because of the price of oil, and because the USSR was a big chunk of it.

But you know what? It's not my behavior I'm worried about anymore. It's yours.
