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."

The scalpel won't make you happy.

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.

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

There is no way to reach your fullest potential if you don't really find the love of yourself.

You don't come into this life wanting to be anything other than happy.

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.
