An OUNCE of hypocracy is WORTH a POUND of AMBITION.

I LOVED MAKE-BELIEVE. I was the CHILD in the cupboard PLAYING with my Barbies.

I did not SET out to WRITE another novel. One day I SAT down with the thought of TRYING my hand at a piece of nonfiction, a personal memoir of youth, but over the next several WEEKS, without intending it, the work began evolving into what has become 'Tomcat in Love.'

I've ALWAYS acknowledged my debt to Hammer. I've always said I'm very GRATEFUL to them. They gave me this great opportunity, made me a well known FACE all over the world for which I am PROFOUNDLY grateful.

As it has been told to me, my DAD had some KIND of deal with Dick Clark. But when we GOT here, that fell through. So we were out here with no job, no FURNITURE, no food.

I HOPE I am a psychotherapist's DREAM. I've SPENT enough hours in THERAPY.

Someone told me SOMETHING that stuck with me: 'You have to envision your life, and then GO BACKWARDS.' I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to GET back up there.

My HEROES are the ONES who survived doing it WRONG, who MADE MISTAKES, but recovered from them.

When you walk into a room, you assess it instantaneously, habitually, before you're even aware of it. I MEAN, you make sure there's not a hole you're GOING to fall into, but MOSTLY you're not even aware of what you're THINKING.

The GREATEST GIFT of leadership is a BOSS who WANTS you to be successful.

As simple as it sounds, we all MUST TRY to be the BEST person we can: by MAKING the best choices, by making the most of the TALENTS we've been given.

I don't get recognized much, and am very HAPPY with that. The FANS I have MET have all been DELIGHTFUL.
