“Confidence. Not so much what’s on the outside, but your sense of self. To know and love yourself and be comfortable with who we are. You can feel it when someone has it. I’m not saying I do, I hate myself, [laughs] so I fooled you all. Vulnerability and humility. I don’t like to argue, I don’t like to raise my voice or any forms of manipulation. I think declarations of love are great; I love love. I’m a bit of a sap like that. I like being sentimental, I cry pretty easily. At a good song, nice sunset, yeah, my emotions are bubbling.” People Magazine

“Your self-esteem shouldn’t be attached to being perfect or judged. What if we all just did what makes us happy. I think one of the things I’ve understood as I’ve gotten older is how little I care what other people think of me. What I’m mostly concerned about is how I feel about myself. And if I can’t love my aging body, it’s not very kind to this body that’s been working so hard to keep me in the game. If I look at my stomach where my skin is loose because I had a daughter, I think to myself, ‘Oh, the skin…’ And then I go, ‘Who are you? This is not your higher self talking. Look at that beautiful daughter that you made in your body, this human being who’s the most important thing in the world to you, that changed your life .’ Considering what my body has put up with, I just have to be grateful. Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t be afraid to not be great at something. Don’t be afraid to be a beginner. Don’t be afraid to just be whatever it is you are.” People Magazine

“I’m one of those people who believes in the idea of choosing to be happy. Even in those moments where my optimism wanes,  I can pull myself out of it. You don’t have to be a big star to have your voice heard. It’s important to use our platforms for people who may not feel as empowered. I’ve stayed true to who I am and what I need to be happy Sometimes that means you’re making sacrifices.” People Magazine

“I did not grow up in a family where we talked about things. My father was 60 when he had me, and I never really felt like I got to know him, and that led me to feel more alone and misunderstood. I was looking to not feel anything. There were many times I thought I wouldn’t make it. If I can take what happened to me and share it with someone else and maybe warn them, then I want to do that, because I did not have that person. I still work to accept that something this beautiful happened to me, to feel good enough, but I don’t have time to feel bad for myself. It’s not about me anymore.” People Magazine

“I really struggle with wanting to give everybody everything all the time. One of the things that I’ve learned recently is you have to do what makes you feel good, not what other people tell you should make you feel good. If you spend little time you have off only doing things out of obligation, your soul suffers from it.” InStyle
