To this day, I don't love my arms. People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I'm not complaining. They pay my bills.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

I feel that when we really love and accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.

I sing 'All Apologies' with my own lyrics. People want to sing along, but then, oops, they realize it's a different story.

Stocks are a safe bet, but only if you stay invested long enough to ride out the corrections.

People ask me how long it took to make a work. I reply by giving them my age.
