Q. Do you believe leaders are made or born?
A. I believe leaders are made. You can be born in a well to do family and still hide behind mommy’s skirt. Perseverance, ambition and thick skin is what really makes a leader.
Q. Which film have you watched the most?
A. I’m a big “Gone with the Wind” fan — I must have seen it 17 times and know most of the words by heart. I still find myself saying, “After all, tomorrow is another day” each time I have an issue.
Q. Who is your favorite celebrity in recovery?
A. I must confess John Stamos has (and always will be) one of my favorite celebrities. Not only was I fortunate enough to meet him and pose in a picture with this stud, but I got to hear firsthand of his struggles. He’s a real person just like everyone else and suffered just like everyone else.
