When I was younger I spent way too much time thinking about me being too fat. So stupid.
If you have a brain, you are obliged to use it.
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It's everything. And it's where you learn everything.
I do think sometimes when scrolling through the TV and there's something on and I look at it and I think oh, my god. I thought I was fat? What is my problem?
Guard your good mood.
Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.
That is the simple secret. Always take your heart to work.
What's worse than brutality that dehumanizes women? Tolerance and indifference towards it.
I can become you for a second and you can become me and this lifts us up.
That consciousness of quality, and the need to demand it can galvanize your energies, not just in your work, but in a rigorous exercise of mind and heart in every aspect of your life.
I just take every day is a miracle and I'm really glad that I'm still working and that people are not sick of me, even though even I'm sick of me a little bit.
My mother was someone that walked into a room and lit it up. She made friends easily and she communicated her enthusiasms with great joy. I always wanted to be more like my mother than I am. I loved and admired her very deeply.
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
