Marriage was a goal. A family, for me as a young girl, was my image of what I hoped for. It was part of the big picture.

I don't like to take my clothes off.

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

When I'm at the greatest odds with my body, it's usually because I feel my body's betraying me, whether that's been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn't eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn't get my body to do what I wanted it to do.

Life isn't always easy, but it's simple.

I've never been one of those people who has an extremely high level of crisis. I just don't need all that emotional drama.

When one person is enslaved, we’re all enslaved.
