I like bowling. I suck at it, but I like it. You know what's so funny? I have days when I'm absolutely great at doing it, and then I have days when I just don't understand it.

I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.

I love spending time with my dog, my niece and my family. I'm very family-oriented.

All my life, men have told me I wasn't pretty enough - even the men I was dating. And I'd be like, 'Well, why are you with me, then?' It's always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I'm cute, I can't see it. I don't see it no matter what anybody says.

But this is Miami, you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat, you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami-but the diamonds will keep me cool.

Like, I get along with everybody. I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.

I'm a girly girl. I'm strong, but I'm very timid. Very dainty.

The streets made me. They stay at me. There's nothing that's gonna take away from my legacy. I'm sorry. It is what it is. I'm dying this way. With the crown on my head, nobody can take nothing away from me. It is what it is. I am who I am. Bottom line.

Imagine for a minute yourself in the same shoes, the same sense of survival and the same nothing to lose.
