“The game isn't over until we stop fighting. Like my ten thousand hours chart. Ten thousand touches. Ten thousand tries. Ten thousand spectacular fails until you finally get it. I'm trying so hard to stay positive. Just because I'm failing right now doesn't mean I'll stop. Believe me, if I could, I'd never doubt again. I'd believe every single second and never stop.”

“I really admire Hillary Clinton despite all her critics. She had it all, in a way. I believe if a woman sets her mind to what she wants to do, she can do it. What’s wrong with becoming a mother and having a successful business? What’s wrong with having a family and still be able to juggle if you have an understanding spouse? I think there’s nothing wrong. For me, I chose my career and have no children. I see nothing wrong with that at all too. The one thing I learned in life is that I should never look back and regret.”

“Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It's three long words, and I can say it faster than anyone in the family, like a ninja-twister champ. I didn't mean to get so good at it, but it goes through my head over and over like a soccer move I can't shake. It's a super-frustrating disease to fight. One day a muscle moves - the next day? Nope.”
