Don't forget I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.

There's one little room in my house which is filled with all my clutter and bits and pieces. My sewing machine is up there, and all my knitting stuff. Its a place where I can go to relax and unwind. I don't get to spend a lot of time up there, but at least I know its there.

I've sort of grown into my cuteness.

I'm tall and smart. If you're aggressive and energetic it can be intimidating for people who aren't very smart themselves.

It's funny when people say, 'I don't think Julia likes me.' Honey, if I don't like you, you're going to know about it.

It's my privilege and honor to cook three meals a day for my family, and it's a luxury on a level that I didn't even realize, because it can be relentless for me on some days. You have pride in how you take care of your family.

During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.
