Whenever something good happens to me, I try-it may sound kind of bad-to think a little negative. I just always try to keep myself grounded.

I believe in working hard all the time. I have faith that working hard is going to get me where I want to go.

I take being a role model seriously.

I don't worry about things I can't control.

I am not predicting here that Obama will fail like Jimmy Carter. What I am predicting is the Republican Party is not extinct and will after a period of time become a strong opposition party.

I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children.

If you love someone and they reject and neglect, you gotta move on, there's no point running in circles for someone when there's no reward.

I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.
