I'm an all powerful amazon warrior, not just some sniveling girl.

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.

They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need, is one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if I succeed.

One of my rules is: Never TRY to do anything. Just do it.

You don't have to go the gym - just walk 10,000 steps a day and you are activating your good genes. But do practise yoga.

I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.

I was a teenage godmother.
