I come from a place where we're not that shy about our bodies.

I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do. Don't beat yourself up about it.

I'm not white-picket-fence perfect.

I like to dream, but I like to make things happen.

I was determined to experience the birth, and I am so scared at the thought of having my abdomen cut open. So I was lucky that the birth went very smoothly.

It's important to keep a balanced diet, but I'm not a fan of deprivation. If I want a cheeseburger, I am not only going to eat that cheeseburger, but I'm going to enjoy that cheeseburger.

You should spend your money on some nice lingerie. Big wool cotton pants, that just doesn't work. You have to feel sexy.

My career never suffered from my not being skinny. I never did catwalk work because I was always too big. I couldn't get the clothes over my hips.

You have to be excited about your life.

Durability is part of what makes a great athlete.

Politics is the polite way of telling somone else they’re stupid.

While there is an attempt by the Trump people to say that California isn't really America. California certainly seems like America to me.

Comradeship is quite a different thing from friendship. . .

I don't like it when a girl tries too hard to act cute or pretty.

I enjoy money. Not enough people in this world are happy. I'm determined to be contented, and having plenty of money from working makes it easier for me.

Every writer has to find their own way into writing.

To me, with age, everything has gotten better. You have way more control; you know yourself better.
