If you don't deal with your shadows, you are condemned to repeat the same mistake over and over, as a human being or as a society.

I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

We all fail - I have failed so many times, but it never discourages me. I just pick up and go.

So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.

Someone once pulled me aside and said it was all right to succeed, and I realised that I knew what failure felt like, but I didn't know what success felt like. I've carried that with me ever since.

Every walk that I do, there's obstacles in the way. There's always somebody or something that comes across negative, but I live for that sort of thing.

I had to succeed. Failure means I would have to be homeless again.

I've spent the first part of my life in the shadow of my family. I'm not going to live in the shadow of my husband.
