A great idea... was to work with my mother on launching our cosmetic company.

Botox is... optional.

My mother... is an AMAZING woman!

The soundtrack of my life... is dance music.

The future... is only getting better.

Happiness... is the overwhelming feeling of love and joy.

There's a time and place for... talking about money.
