Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores.

As far as men go, they never gave me a chance to be me; they were always scared that somebody was going to take me.

I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust, but most of all I listen to myself.

When you tell your truth, you are coming from a real place, so you are automatically a leader.

I've been a tomboy my whole life. But then you get older, you get married, you soften up.

I've just been growing right along. It's painful, but it's a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It's like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you're looking so hot.

When someone comes up to me and says, 'Mary, you helped save my marriage', or, 'Mary, you helped me get out of this abusive relationship', I'm in it, really in their lives. And I'm so passionate about my feelings, but also about showing people the way through theirs.
