Learning how to fly, for me, was so euphoric.

There's so much more to life than looking a certain way.

I wouldn't change my past for anything, because I think it's made me who I am. I'm so enormously grateful for all that I have in my life.

It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body, or is it something deeper than that?

When I stopped wanting my New Year's Eve to be perfect, to bring in the New Year right, is when it started working out right. When I was young, I was always looking for the best party to be at, to ring in the New Year, and I always ended up in the car going, "Happy New Year."

I'm certainly not very book smart, but I started traveling at 16, and it has enriched me in ways I could never begin to explain.

Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.
