I'm really not sure I've got it all together. Things are happening so fast. I had a pretty tough loss, so I have a lot of emotions and mixed feelings. But I'm a pro now and it feels great.
Clearly, right now I don't feel very good about how things ended. It's a tough loss. We left it all out on the floor and that's all that you can really ask for. But it really hurts now.
If the restoration costs exceed $300, it's a felony. That is very likely.
I made myself unhappy measuring my love against a given norm. The truth is, we make ourselves happy in among a wide variety of loves; all count.
All my books explore fatherhood. I look at what it means to have a big father figure at the centre: sometimes they're a good father, sometimes bad.
It's just really disappointing. We were just so close. I think we had all the tools in place to win the national championship. Sometimes things don't work out the way you want it to.
It seems very similar to what we were seeing a couple weeks ago with the hurricane. This is something that's weather related and we can't control.
It's good for women's basketball to have that many people come check out a game. We're excited, especially winning when the crowd is against you. It's even nicer that way. We look forward to hearing stunned silence.
Apart from writing books, my 40s have been about pursuing personal growth. Whatever were the mistakes of my earlier life, I've been committed to a pause, a regroup. I don't want to make the same mistakes in the future.
I always feel like a woman designing for a woman. I know what you want to accentuate and what you want to hide.
To know that I continue to touch the lives of so many brides is a very special feeling.
It's hard to keep family life and workplace separated.
As an African American actress there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.
I have a gajillion headbands - yellows, pinks, reds, blues. I'm obsessed.
