I was a huge Beatles fan. The Stones, Dylan. Later on, I got into Stevie Wonder, and Bill Withers - he's one of my heroes. Al Green, too.

I have a high self-opinion - I don't need to hide that. I don't need to be self-deprecating.

I don't date my girlfriend because she's a model. I date her because I love her.

Let's face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women.

Taylor Swift is super charming. Damn you Swift.

It's much more interesting to embrace who you really are rather than waste energy pretending to be someone else.

Yoga carves you into a different person - and that is satisfying physically.

At any Maroon 5 concert, you'll see a room backstage marked 'yoga.'

I'd rather be loud and misunderstood than quiet and bored

ADHD isn't a bad thing, and you shouldn't feel different from those without ADHD.

I love music videos, I really do. I think it's kind of sad that it's a dying art form.

Smart means having intellectual humility rather than high cognitive ability.

A baby is a dancing joy of life.

I cannot accept any more from you without knowing the price

The greater your dreams, the more terrible your nightmares.

I hate reality shows that are not reality.

We all have a history of digital texts, posts, messages, reposts/tweets that are sitting out there and can be used by anyone for any reason.

Women are young at politics, but they are old at suffering; soon they will learn that through politics they can prevent some kinds of suffering.

Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting. It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life

I value mothers and motherhood enormously. For every inattentive or abusive mother in my fiction I think you'll find a dozen or so who are neither.
