“Cancer stops you in your tracks. It really makes you think about what's important. In a second, life can change. Don't ever forget to say thank you for love and family. What good is your success without them?”

“I wanted to be a ballet teacher.”

“I have a particular image, and my customers know my line isn't going to be so trendy it will be out of style next year.”
