I've always had to work hard for what I've got and to stay where I was.

I don't have slim children. I have hearty ones.

Only paper flowers are afraid of the rain.

Confidence is sexy. So if you're confident in who you are, that's sexier than anything.

I see you got a crew cut...and the crew never came back!
