You've Got To Love What's Yours.

I Just Wanted To Be Who I Was, Which Was Like So Many Other Girls I Knew. We Grew Up In The City, Had A Hard Edge And Obstacles To Overcome, But We Were Still Young And Beautiful. I Didn't Want To Be All Dressed Up, All Made Up - I Wanted To Be Myself, Which Hadn't Been Done Before.

I've Met Many Young Women Who Are Hiv Positive And Courageously Fighting The Disease. Their Determination To Live A Full Life And See Their Children Live In A Better World Is Deeply Inspiring To Me.

The Desire To Play Has Always Been In Me. I Remember My First Experience At About Four Or Five Of Really Dying To Sing And Dying To Play That Came From No One Telling Me To Do So.

If I Know Everything Around The Situation, All The Facts, I Feel Like I Can Handle Just About Anything.

I've Been Able To Find A Lot Of What I've Not Had Before: Freedom, Bravery, Fearlessness. It's Empowering To Find Those Things.
