As far as a glass ceiling, I feel that all you can do is give it your absolute best with whatever gifts the universe has given you. And if you make it in some way that other people can recognize, that's fine. But even if you don't quote-unquote make it, you're fine if you've given it your whole heart and soul.

I've always felt quite singular, even as a child. That I must stay on track to keep my purpose.

It's an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important... and to feel that you're being published by people who really don't get it and/or don't really care.

The best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart.

I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.

You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don't accept it, it's their loss.

Fear is real, but so is love.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.
