Quotes
I'm a city girl. I'm not into camping and stuff. I like glamour, so I channel my grandmother - she's 84 and she puts her face on every day. She looks like a painting, and her house is like a museum. And she's still independent. That's a real woman to me. Her and my grandfather were married 63 years. He died, and she's had no one since. She's got her house, her people and her church. She's so positive.
