I intimidate a lot of men, because I've done a lot. I'm established. I'm successful.

I learned from my mistakes, I was able to accept the things that were my fault and to be able to grow from that. You have to be able to see growth from your experiences and I've done that.

Some men are afraid of women who challenge them and demand respect and answers. That's who I am and will always be.

It is much easier to fight through this thing called life with someone, as opposed to fighting alone. I absolutely want to be a wife and to come home to somebody who I know adores me.

My religious position: I think that God could do a lot better, and I'm willing to give Him the chance.
