Bill EppridgeBill Eppridge I feel like I’m just a woman like every woman. We have our doubts, which is better, because I always prefer to stay humble about everything.
Bianca BaltiBianca Balti I would get very involved with political issues and stuff like that. And now, I still have an opinion on everything, but I try to balance staying informed and having a positive attitude.
