Kelly Ayotte
Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.

They died hard, those savage men – like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.

I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don’t think that way. I still don’t have a ‘bliss‘ to follow.

Sandy Duncan
I’ve really been extremely lucky. Some people work just as hard, are just as intelligent, and they don’t get their breaks. I’ve just gotten the breaks. Maybe it’s good karma.

I just work hard, and when you work hard, a lot of stuff just starts happening for you.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
