Thirty was a big deal for me. It was the age where I reevaluated everything - how I approached life and how I thought about myself. When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I've wasted trying to find the right man.

We’re only here briefly. And while I’m here I want to allow myself joy.

I find that in life all you can do is try to be honest about who you are and how you're feeling, and trust that it will be received in the correct way.

I was a huge Ann-Margret fan, and I wanted to be like her.

Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.

I didn't necessarily fit in in high school. I felt very awkward. I still feel completely awkward and weird in my body sometimes. I'm hoping that's going to go away, but I've just embraced it as reality.

Anyone who falls in love is a freak. Its like a socially acceptable form of insanity.
