Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Nia: (about putting on Christmas shows for needy kids at a children's house while she was growing up) Even though we weren't curing cancer, I realized that God gives each one of us something special, and that ability to perform brings happiness and joy to people. That was my first thought of maybe this is what I'm supposed to be doing.
