I played softball and basketball growing up. I really wanted to play football but both parents said no. I was mad for a second, then got over it. Now, just because I'm tall doesn't mean I can play basketball. I was waaaaay better at swinging a bat.

I was always okay with the fact that I was taller and bigger than everybody else growing up. My mom, my dad, and my friends always told me I was beautiful.

I am growing and learning. There's so much more that I want to accomplish and do. I'm gonna do it at whatever pace it happens. I'm not trying to rush anything or slow anything down.

If I don't laugh at least 20 times a day - it hasn't been a good day.

The ministries of finance and industries and commerce require modern-minded, transparent, and efficient leadership.

I believe that there will be women astronauts sometime just as there are women airplane pilots.

As long as the opposition believes the world will stand with Ukraine's democrat reformers, they will have the leverage and the courage to establish a legitimate republic under the leadership of Viktor Yushchenko.

Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting and, most importantly, a way of communicating.
