"You need to analyze yourself instead of analyzing other people"

"With the entertainers, you have to understand that what they need to focus on is their art so the last thing they need to worry about is their security. Our job is to make their life as normal as possible."

"When I first started the business I didn't have a client for two months. No income was coming and I had to be creative... You start to think about what can you do. I always have to use my brain and figure out a way out of any type of situation. Even if you're in a bad neighborhood or your size is mismatched with a big guy. You either talk your way out of it or you come up with a plan. I can get myself out of any hole."

"I have always had that mentality that I can do anything anyone else can do."

"Anything you do you need to have the utmost confidence in yourself and the way to get that confidence is to recognize what you need to improve."

"When I got into the private sector I started finding out my male colleagues were making more money than me. That's when I started thinking I need to take things into my own hands and start my own company. I wanted that equality and I wasn't given that."
