I credit my success to my mother. Her prayers and support are everything to me. I know all she does for me, and I know nothing I do can ever pay back the amount of support she has given me.

I am a perfectionist, and I set high standards.

Half the people might like me - the other half might not. But throughout my life, I have had high expectations for myself - so I just try to make the non-believers into believers.
