The only good thing about being frightened half to death, she thought, is that it makes me forget all about being seasick.
I never get upset about what I read in the newspaper. I realize that every human being can make a difference in this world.
But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper.
