People like to put you in a little box, and that's where they are comfortable with you being.

I see myself as a bit of a traveller. I am a workaholic.

I'm not ashamed of showing my curves to the world. Bodies are beautiful when they're full and healthy and fit. I've always had curves and I'll always be proud of them.

I feel liberated, empowered, inspired and motivated. Fear holds you back from achieving what you want in life.

I don't live my life seeking validation from people on social media.

Who doesn't know the easy, breezy, beautiful Covergirl line? I'm so excited to be the face of the brand in Australia and help all girls find and rock their inner Covergirl!

I love my body because it's what I've been given. Being too thin is just as unhealthy as being obese.

You can, of course, be a sexy, strong female and be a good role model.

I come from a family of tall, curvy women. I developed in my body and my shape far earlier, so from a young age I accepted it. I embraced it and saw it as an advantage.

I get really frustrated with people who turn their noses up at talent shows like 'The Voice' and 'X-Factor.'

I love kids, and I'm great with them, but I also love being able to give them back.

It’s better to wear out than rust out.

You can find me at three in the morning in my living room with a glass of wine and really bad '90s trip hop beats blaring from my headphones.

People should pay more attention. Everyone wants attention, but no one wants to give attention.

When I'm working on a novel, I work 70-hour weeks.

Ours was a history of well-intentioned beginnings that end with a fight at every turn.

Love is jealous that any should come before her, or after. She would be all in all. If a man will trust her and live in her, he shall know all things.

To really become motivated to succeed, people need to believe they can win.

You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.

There are basically two kinds of tax, the kind the masses can see, and the kind they can't. The inflation tax is of the second kind.

The childhood of the individual and the race is full of fears, and panic-stricken attempts to avert what is feared by placating the gods with painful sacrifices.
