People make things happen. All the rest is just window dressing

What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.

I would say that during the time that I was 14 and pregnant - I didn't even know what pregnancy was when I got pregnant - I was trying to do everything I could to harm myself. I said to God, "God, if you want me to die, then you're going to have to kill me".

I was happy over little things: mango sorbet, and running, and the way my feet felt touching the ground when I ran.

Dream big - dream very big. Work hard - work very hard. And after you've done all you can, you stand, wait and fully surrender.

It is your life and it is worth risking everything to make it yours.

I don't want to have to get the lesson of losing [things like health and moving about freely] to appreciate what it was.
