Mothers have a huge influence on how their daughters view themselves and how they treat their bodies.

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.

You can't speak life to others if you don't know how to speak life to yourself. Dead leaves can't breathe.

Everybody says life is hard. I'm surprised nobody makes effort to not create any lives.

Meditation is a time to focus, train the mind, and bring it to stillness. It is not a time to rest and relax.

The kitchen is the great laboratory of the household, and much of the 'weal and woe' as far as regards bodily health, depends on the nature of the preparations concocted within its walls.

Mind over matter. Weak minded people are easily influenced. Strong minded people you can't break their will.

Books and marriage go ill together.

I was a prosecutor for many years, I'm a crime victim myself, and I've tried so many cases I don't even know how many anymore.

Open your hearts, open your hearts, then only you can enjoy yourself.

Some people make headlines while others make history.

History must always be taken with a grain of salt. It is, after all, not a science but an art.
