I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.

Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.

The reason I gained so much weight in the first place and the reason I had such a sorry history of abusive relationships with men was I just needed approval so much. I needed everyone to like me, because I didn't like myself much.

I don't yell at people, I don't mistreat people. I don't talk down to people, so no one else in this building, in this vicinity, has the right to do it.

Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.

You must have some vision for your life. Even if you don't know the plan, you have to have a direction in which you choose to go... You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you are not, life will drive you.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
