Every body type is different - that's what makes you unique. What makes you special is you, and you are different from the next person.

I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.

I like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my twenties especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.

To be given permission to be confused -- and remain confused -- for as long as it takes would have been a huge gift.

I was sheltered, and there's good and bad to that. The good was not getting into the drugs and the alcohol and the really sorry stuff, and the bad was finally coming out into the real world and trying to deal with it, which was hard for me.

I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.

If people want to know the truth, why don't they just come to me and ask?
