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.

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 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 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 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 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.

Loving yourself…does not mean being self-absorbed or narcissistic, or disregarding others. Rather it means welcoming yourself as the most honored guest in your own heart, a guest worthy of respect, a lovable companion.

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.

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

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’m also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has.

If you are able to look yourself in the mirror every day with the decisions that you make, that’s where power starts.

Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Anna spoke not only naturally and intelligently, but intelligently and casually, without attaching any value to her own thoughts, yet giving great value to the thoughts of the one she was talking to.

It doesn’t have to take over your life, it doesn’t have to define you as a person, it’s just important that you ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness.

I’m just a broken person looking for other broken people who may have gotten shards of me stuck in their feet and aren’t too concerned about pulling them out.

To be your own person, you need good friends. Friends are the treasure of your life.

I’m here to show you imperfection. The beauty is in the imperfection.

Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.
