Our goal as women should be to discover who we are and not who we think we should be or who the world wants us to be. It's not our responsibility to be arm candy!

You never stop learning. If you have a teacher, you never stop being a student.

I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are.

In the darkness things always go away from you. Memory holds you down while regret and sorrow kick hell out of you. The only help you'll get is a few hard drinks and morning.

I would describe my style as off the wall. I like stuff that doesn't match. I just like to stand out.
