But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.

You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.

There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don't have anything to do with my nose.

I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.

I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.

I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.
