Being able to talk about your body openly is such an empowering thing.

It took a while to grow the confidence to say, 'This is who I am, take it or leave it.'

Every sweet, humble young model is only one campaign away from becoming a fashion monster.

I know what I want, I know where I'm going and I'm happy with what I am.

I know every girl has her own form of beauty, its just a matter of discovering it and celebrating it.

I never plan tomorrow because I don’t even know what I’m doing today.

Girls need to know that we are all unique and that we should all celebrate our unique beauty because it comes in all different shapes and sizes.

From a young age, my parents always told me and my sister how important it was as a girl to be more than just a pretty face and I think we've carried that message through out our lives.

I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented.

How can any person justify an aesthetic that reduces a woman or child to an emaciated skeleton? Is it art? Surely fashion's aesthetic should enhance and beautify the human form, not destroy it.

I remember trying to work out like crazy to get rid of all of my womanly features because I thought they made me fat.

Before you get a bad attitude by drawing recurring conclusions to new situation based on past experiences, be sure to look for the possibilities.

Whatever the item is that I have chosen to give you, it is nothing more than the receptacle within which I have placed the whole of myself. If it is empty, it is not a gift.

The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness.

If its platform is any guide, the Republican party is staunchly pro-life until you are actually born.

I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

True love never runs smooth, that's what they say, but true love is worth all the pain.

The cultivation - even celebration - of victimhood by intellectuals, tort lawyers, politicians and the media is both cause and effect of today's culture of complaint.

Girl you are a beauty. Well, I am a beast. They must have been trippin to let me off the leash.

Attempt something so impossible that unless God is in it, it's doomed to failure.

You know, when you finish the day, and you finish the scene, you don't get a chance to go back to it. So you wanna make sure that everything is left on the floor.
