I'm just not a quitter and I just never, ever give up. I was forced to adapt because if I didn't, I was losing inspiration only doing what I was doing.

There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything - in your marriage, in your job, in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.

I think one of the things that saved me is that I never put all my eggs in one basket.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.
