My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure. Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, 'Today is what I have.'

I was raised by my father I was daddy's girl.

You can't respect yourself if you're afraid to be who you are.
