When my parents went to Knoxville for work, I stayed with my dad’s mom. She was strict – the type to stiffen up and iron dresses. I had to sit more than I played. Oh, I was miserable.

Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.
Never listen to girls on how to get girls. If you’re trying to catch fish you don’t ask another fish. You ask the Fisherman.
We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
One of the things I can’t get my hands on is something like “Mothers’ Clubs”, where instead of reading a book and walking in nature with their babies, they sit and talk about vomit and nappies and burping with other like-minded people and get nowhere.
