Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.

I think part of being an adult is leaving the fairytale behind.

There was a time when I let go of the reins and thought, What's meant to happen will happen. That's probably one of my biggest faults as a person, and something that I've had to work really hard on: believing in this idea that the universe will decide for me. The universe is not going to decide in your favor.

When a thing you love faces adversity, you start to feel more protective of it. Also, you take an inventory all the time. You ask yourself, "Is this worth all my fighting?"

Caring about what people think of me decreases everyday.

There's no sense that you can knock on your neighbor's door or be part of a local community group, and that's part of your responsibility as a human being.

I totally believe in romance and love and all that.
