What She Will Miss The Most: Her daughter Bessie, who celebrates her third birthday on November 22
Words Of Wisdom: "Three days is the longest I have ever been away from my daughter... in terms of what I might get thrown at me... nothing is going to be worse than my heartbreak. From the point of me leaving her and getting on that plane out there, that is going to be the worst part for me. So, if I can deal with that and get through the other side when I land I'm going to have a great time and just say, 'I'm going to give it my best shot.'"
