If we can just try every day to be the best versions of ourselves, we are offering to the world the best addition to society.

Women come in all shapes and sizes, and we are what we want to be, not the label that is placed on us.

I live in Brooklyn, New York. It is a melting pot of cultures and people. I walk down the street, and there is art on the buildings and people congregating who have been neighbors for years and events and music and freedom.

There is an energy in New York that is like nowhere else I've been, and I feel free there, and that is inspiring.

Being able to meet fans who look up to me and letting me know they have been inspired by me in some way is so humbling.

Meeting Justin Bieber was interesting. We were backstage at The Voice, and he was there premiering his "Boyfriend" music video. I was in six-inch heels, so I was towering over him like a giant.

The amount of time I spent on facing my negative conscious has been most of my struggle and changing my mind-set has been the biggest change in my life not my weight.
