Before I had my child, I thought I knew all the boundaries of myself, that I understood the limits of my heart. It's extraordinary to have all those limits thrown out, to realize your love is inexhaustible.

And also I think particularly as a female, you're taught to be defensive your whole life. You're taught not to be aggressive.

It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.

I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.

It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.
