I'd rather go naked than wear fur.
I'm not entirely comfortable with myself in underwear.
I survived a potentially life-threatening childbirth-related complication after delivering my daughter. I learned that hundreds of thousands of girls and women die each year due to similar and often manageable complications. They die because they don't have access to critical maternity care that could easily save their lives.
I would be very proud to have influenced anyone that I know or don't know to quit smoking.
I love fashion, but I'm not obsessed with it.
I think most people are curious about what it would be like to be able to meet yourself - -it's eerie.

As long as I was breathing with the contractions and not pushing against them, I felt better. That idea is fundamental-to feel pain and not to resist; to go towards it. It is an incredibly spiritual practice.
