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.

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

It’s important so you stay in touch with yourself. If you lose touch with yourself, no one’s going to want to talk to you or listen to anything you’re f**king doing. They’ll just point at you and laugh. At you, not with you.

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 a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break.

I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decide that the best way forward is to take some time off.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

I can’t bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can’t stand the sight of myself.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

You try to smile it away, some things you can’t disguise.

I am an eternally deluded person. No one is as deluded as I am. How clear this is to me when I do zazen!

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.

Most women would not be happy being me. People say, ‘But you’re alone.’ But I don’t feel alone. I feel very un-alone.

Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.

I always want to think of myself as an underdog.

I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y’all.

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

I’m fragile just washed upon the shore.

Madame, you must be gay; only thus can life be endured. I speak from experience for I have had to endure much, and have only been able to endure it because I have always laughed whenever I had the chance.
