I kept buying bigger and bigger jeans, and once the size 14s got too tight, I thought: 'That's it. I'm not buying the next size'.

We all have our painful pasts we have to get through.

My eyes aren't special, my nose isn't special, my mouth isn't special.

I think a lot of people think because I was getting the divorce, that was really the catalyst for gaining so much weight.

Professionally, I have no major goals. That's partly because I'm really flaky. I want things, but I don't go after them. I'd rather they be placed in my lap.

People come up to me and tell me how I changed their life and I've inspired them. And they tell me their stories, and that keeps me going.

Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy. There's going to be stress in life, but it's your choice whether you let it affect you or not.
