There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals.

While you're pregnant you're made to feel not beautiful or sexually viable. You're either sexy, or you're a mother. I didn't want to have to choose, so I challenged that.

In the end the only thing that you can have on your side is time. The only way to gain time is by living it. And if I live expending my energy worrying about other people's perceptions, then I'm missing my moment.

The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees.

The thing is most people are afraid to step out, to take a chance beyond their established identity.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

I always try to keep a positive perspective on what's valuable and the importance of restricting that immediate gratification and, most importantly, that who you are isn't the stuff you have.
