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

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.

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

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.

As many as six out of ten American adults have never read a book of any kind, and the bulletins from the nation’s educational frontiers read like the casualty reports from a lost war.

The way you act can sometimes be totally different from the way you actually are.

Republicans have to finally get smart and come together.

I am really fascinated by human beings, fascinated!

The combination of foolishness in the heart and free will in the head is extremely volatile.

There's a responsibility in being a person. It's more than just taking up space where air would be.

I know not which I prefer the look of—those who attack us or that which defends us!

There isn't a new sorrow in the world -- they're all old ones -- but we can all find new happiness if we look in the right way.

Day by day we are building for eternity ... Every gentle word, every generous thought, every unselfish deed will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come.

I will plant my feet on that step where my parents put me as a child, until self-evident truth comes to light.
