Was I a perfect gastric-bypass patient? Yes. Was I a perfect gastric-bypass pregnant woman? No. I made a decision to enjoy my pregnancy... So sue me!

My husband and I are best of friends first and foremost. We fight like cats and dogs, but never stay mad for long. I was lucky to find him, he is in every way, my soulmate.

I have willpower and determination. I am very resilient, like rock.

We all come from dysfunctional families and these days I guess that's pretty normal.

Certain foods no longer agree with me. If I eat French fries, I might feel sick to my stomach.

I realized that I have to slow down. I work so hard, I'm so busy.

I am always cautious.

I have a child to feed and a spirit that can't be crushed, so I'm able to move ahead.

I started doing yoga.

It's not just being overweight that's dangerous. Stress is dangerous.

Whatever it means to be a friend, taking a black eye for someone has to be in it.

It's always better if they see. Then they don't imagine things. So I didn't imagine, I remembered.

Many of the bravest never are known, and get no praise. [But]that does not lessen their beauty...

Ultimately, then, creativity and originality lie not in the avoidance of established forms but in the imaginative use of them.

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later.

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

Movies have heart. Have mind. Have power. Have ambition.

Love this in the film, “Velvet Goldmine” it captures the excitement and the thrill at the moment of discovery!

My lord. It is too much, and not enough

Lina loved her little sister so much that it was like an ache under her ribs.
