I have had a love-hate relationship with my body.

It's about time that people forget that image of strip clubs as seedy places...Rather, today's clubs are capital-intensive female-empowerment zones.

Certainly I'm passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

I feel like I have the fortune of privilege, particularly as it relates to my children.

I have had a love-hate relationship with my body.

I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, "Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don't have a choice."

I feel sexy because I feel loved. That's what sexy is-it's feeling good from the inside. When you feel sexy or sensuous, you naturally want to open up and give, and I think that comes from being able to receive love and desire.
