If you dream big and work hard you can accomplish great things.

The 43-year-old recently opened up about her family live, and how she only has a handful of friends, to Elle magazine. "I'm very close to my sister and a friend I went to school with, and then three or four others," she explained. "I think a true friend understands that you can't see them as much as you might want, because they're busy as well. I never, ever feel lonely. I don't have a lot of friends but I'm surrounded by people I genuinely like to be with."
