We had one subject who was identified by residents and reportedly was bragging to residents that he would have some good stuff to pass out.
Just being in that venue and being at the Final Four knowing my team could be there the following year, I wanted to be part of that. I knew I had made the right decision even if we hadn't made it to this point. It's all the sweeter that we actually are here.
We do know that the officer, in fear of his life ... potentially this could have been a robbery on the officer and he had to protect himself.
We really needed that. She could be the difference in the big games from last year.
I like classics but I always add a twist because I don't like to think of my clothes as classic.
I always thought I was going to be a dancer and then fashion kind of took over.
I always feel like a woman designing for a woman. I know what you want to accentuate and what you want to hide.
To know that I continue to touch the lives of so many brides is a very special feeling.
I went looking for dresses and realized there was a niche I could fill in the wedding dress market.
It's hard to keep family life and workplace separated.
I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working, it's 100%. When I'm with my friends, I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids, it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time, I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.
I think that glamour is about confidence and really owning the look
I look like a child - and I love it!
As an African American actress there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.
