I took the stairs and felt like my childhood took the elevator.

When you have a big life change, it takes a long time to get used to either the new format or the understanding that you need to create a new dream. Or if things didn't work out, mourning the death of that dream. It's hard, because that's a very private journey.

I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I'm actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons.

I feel like I came out of the womb and was punted - there you go, out in the world!

I just didn't understand the American political system, and I felt really stupid about that.

People are like moths. First they are ugly and awkward, until they break out of their shell and become a beautiful butterfly.

God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.
