I had a paper round and every night I would put the dinner on before Mum came home from work. I was capable because I had to be.

I'm not running around as a continual ray of sunshine. It's just I don't believe in wasting time feeling sorry for myself. Get over it.

Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.

In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if;' it's 'how.'

The best beauty secret, besides sleep and plenty of water, is do whatever it is - before you go out, before you need to feel beautiful - do whatever makes you feel confident. If it’s putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it.

I like that Pilates compromises the mind and body. It's not just about being able to run around the block a few times. It's about alleviating stress and controlling breathing. It's about being balanced.

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
