The first thing to do is be happy with yourself and appreciate your body-only then should you try to change things about yourself.

I didn’t talk to anyone about [postpartum depression]. I was very reluctant.. Four of my friends felt the same way I did, and everyone was too embarrassed to talk about it.

I have insecurities, of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women, and I’m very proud of that.

I think I remind everyone of themselves. Not saying everyone is my size, but it’s relatable because I’m not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable.

I enjoy being me; I always have done. I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don’t want that in my life.

It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks, as long as you’re happy.

I have never been insecure, ever, about how I look, about what I want to do with myself. My mum told me to only ever do things for myself, not for others.

I’m really happy to be me, and I’d like to think people like me more because I’m happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything.

Women, take the pressure off when dating. He has to impress you – not the other way around. You are the prize.

I intend to be me. Whatever that is.

Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.

Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

You’re not worth the time that this is taking.

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

A black person can’t be imperfect in the public eye, that’s a form of control.

I didn’t have high self-esteem when I was a teenager, as I think most teenagers don’t.

No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful.

Huge ego is very often matched by huge insecurity.
