I have always loved children. I've been fantasizing about motherhood since I was probably 2 ½. I loved to babysit my cousins, and nieces, you know.

I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.

That you will feel the validation of your external beauty but also get to the deeper business of being beautiful inside. There is no shade in that beauty.

I think beauty is an expression of love.

It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else's.

No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid.

You can't eat beauty, it doesn't sustain you. What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion, for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflamed the heart and merchants the soul.
