Today's girls are tomorrow's women - and leaders.

These divisions in the international community - the Syrians bear quite a lot of the blame, but we have enabled it by the divisions between us.

I sold my soul for the second time, cause' the man don't pay me.

My mother really didn't know a heck of a lot about business. She was a very good mother, that made sure we ate right and we had our cod liver oil, but didn't know a heck of a lot about what I did.
