Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.”
“I'm sort of planting Post-It notes all over my psyche. Do not skateboard wasted. Do not buy $10,000 rugs. Be careful what you say to journalists. You don't have to stay up until 7 A.M. - tomorrow is a new day.”
“Children are the anchors of a mother's life.”
