But at the time I thought that if I could just get the world to see me the way I saw myself then my body wouldn't be the thing you walked away thinking about. I wouldn't be that fat girl.

Personally, it’s rude. You got three kids with the lady, she just did 17 years for you and you’re not gonna leave your...whatever!

If they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable.

It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

I don't know any teenager with a positive attitude.

I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don't like myself, there's no reason to even live the life.

My beauty is dark chocolate and it's delicious and it's sweet.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl.

I live my life because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame.

One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself.

Wherever a doctor cannot do good he must be kept from doing harm.

We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

That is the most confusing and insane thing to me, when people get offended on behalf of another group.

There's a thrill in the midst of the hardship in knowing that I'm making the invisible real. And I'm doing what I want.

Reading Chekhov was just like the angels singing to me.

Why does a suppurating lung give so little warning and a sore on the finger so much?

The search for historical laws is, I maintain, mistaken in principle.

The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is God's "I Will" to every seeker for full salvation of spirit, soul and body.

The least trusted testimony in a court of law is eyewitness testimony. We are simply not good reporters of facts that happen to us, or in front of us. But that's not the same as knowingly lying.

The success of Yoga must not be measured by how flexible your body becomes, but rather by how much it opens your heart.
