We are lucky to live in a world made up of so many different kinds of people and I am confident in the direction we are going.

I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

I felt free, once I realized i was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in.

There is not one standard definition of beauty or one perfect size.

There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

I am always being asked to gain or lose weight, but I am at a point now where I don't care anymore. I love my body, I love my super-hourglass shape and I love showing it off.

I don't want women to hold themselves back. I think there are too many women who are self-conscious about the way they look - the way they see themselves in the mirror.

Love yourself. Be proud of who you are.

For me, wearing lingerie isn't about anyone else but me. If I dressed for others I would be a miserable person.

I always say wear what makes you feel most confident, and confidence doesn't always come over night.

Growing up I didn't have curvy role models, mainly because I didn't see enough curvy women represented in major ads.

People maybe smiling but look to the eyes because they can’t hide the sorrow, pain, and heartache they're trying to hide behind their smile.

Fiction is an urgent business. It is the Dying Us telling stories to the Dying Us, trying to crack the nonsense in our heads open with a big hammer pronto, before Death arrives.

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

16 days of activism? I don't know about you folks, but I'm an activist every single day.

Prior to penicillin and medical research, death was an everyday occurrence. It was intimate.

We have to keep in practice like musicians. Besides, there are still potentialities to be realized in color film. To us, it's just like bringing up a child. You don't stop after you've had it.

I don't want someone to watch sports in bed. That drives me nuts.

The candidate was required to prepare himself by confession, fasting, and passing the night in prayer.

We must send the message that if you use illegal drugs, you will pay the ultimate price by not playing an entire season. And if you get caught again, you will be banished for life.

Our stories about our own lives are a form of fiction, I began to see and become more insistent as we grow older, even as we try to make them come out in some other way.
