There is no shame in being a survivor of sexual violence. The shame is on the aggressor.

If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is. You might never find out that you are useful for all the right reasons - and not all those stupid things that people tell you you're useful for.

I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.

What's risky is living your life and never trying for anything and never doing something brave and never getting yourself scared.

If you have problems, it's something to apologize for, to be embarrassed about, not to revel in. It's the perfectionist in me...That's why people call me the "bossy little thing"-I'm the bossiest person around.

I think that if more people saw more things, they wouldn't be able to really help themselves.
