When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues.

I think a little tidbit I can give you is that I grew up with basically everything handed to me, except for my career. I worked for that.

No one's just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.

I'm a person who likes habit and knowing what my job is.

Celebrate your family's bleakest moments and how your relatives overcame them. In doing so, you will encounter darkness, but you'll give your children the confidence that they, too, shall overcome.

I'm a great mother because of my intentions on being a great mother; I'm a good friend because I'm loyal; I'm a good daughter because I've hopefully made my mother proud; I'm a great human being because I accept that there's a spiritual being underneath it all. I've always been a woman of faith.

I just love kids. As a kid, I grew up in a poor country with a poor family that had nothing. I loved anyone who could come into my life, in from the outside, and give me advice that could help me succeed. I believe that there are a lot of people who came into my life that made me Dikembe Mutombo.

I love my nice things, but I'm still the Welsh family girl.
