Quote

I have based my life on being strong enough to do anything.

I've been strong and determined all my life about many things I've wanted.

Having chosen something worth doing, never give up, and try not to let anyone down.

I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do.

I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.

I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.

I wanted more control of my life. I wanted work to fit in, not to dominate; to support, not to lead the pattern of my life.

I had a husband who stayed with me, and small children, and I had no choice but to pull myself together and rebuild a different kind of life. There was no other choice.

I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.

Growing up, when I was younger, I didn't feel all that tough or smart or strong. As I got older, I was able to discover my own strength.
