I'm still at the end of my rope because I find myself not handling things well when I travel.

When you're at the end of your rope, all you have to do is make one foot move out in front of the other. Just take the next step. That's all there is to it.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.

I remember having a conversation with my sister, saying, 'What if I don't make it? What if I'm still waiting tables when I'm 35?' I was just at the end of my rope. But I've been at the end of that rope several times.

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

I can't say that I've ever actually got on a horse and roped a cow, no.

I have to admit I can be pretty high strung and tightly wound.

I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'

If I do hit that rope and do a hop, skip and a jump and get up as high as I can, I'm just going to hold my breath, because I know i'm going to hear all kinds of scar tissue popping.
