When you can't remember why you're hurt, that's when you're healed.

If you allow yourself, you can become stronger in the very places that you've been broken.

Refuse to be afraid that we will no longer be considered attractive and acceptable when we are strong.

I don't know if a country (America) where the people are so ignorant of reality and of history, if you can call that a free world.

I like to be wild in passion and calculated in expression! I'm both. I like to be wild in passion more. But I think the balance is what's essential.

Who am I? I'm a survivor. I'm a woman with tremendous inner resources and resilience. I care about people. I believe in 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,' and I live by that. I am becoming authentic, and that's important to me. I have surpassed both my parents in terms of emotional stability, happiness and well-being. And I'm a lucky woman. I've deserved my luck.

I wasn't a hippie and I wasn't even a bohemian. I was extremely earnest and serious.
