Blake & Murphy didn't seem to appreciate who I was and what I was doing for them. After losing the NXT Tag Team Championship, they went on a long losing streak. They needed me yet just used me as an accessory.

I want to use my connections with coaches, players, celebrities, whomever, and if I can take that friendship and use it to help someone else, I'm going to take advantage of that. I'm not going to apologize for that.

You can't take care of charity unless you take care of yourself first.

Americans also don't need to be taught how to give. We don't need to be taught how to take care of each other or how to be charitable.

I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.

I now see that is a woman's God-given role to tend to the home and take care of the children: it's just that the entire planet is our home, and every child on it is one of our children.

Neighbors broke the news that my parents had been taken away by immigration officers, and just like that, my stable family life was over.

I feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.

I say to people who care for people who are dying, if you really love that person and want to help them, be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.

I have an interesting perspective on depending on others. I think it gives people a chance to serve. And I'm not so much big on independence, as I am on interdependence. I'm not talking about co-dependency, I'm talking about giving people the opportunity to practicing love with its sleeves rolled up.

There are far too many people for us to think about each of them during our short stay on earth—like the thousands of books in a library we haven't time to read in an afternoon. But this is no excuse to cease browsing. For every now and then, we find that one book that reaches us deep inside and introduces us to ourselves. And, in someone else's story, we come to understand our own.

People talk of life's storms as if they are universal experiences. But they're not. Some people hear thunder while others touch lightning.
