Now I’m a warrior.

When you do your best to live out your dreams, you inspire others to do the same.

It’s not about eating healthy to lose weight. It’s about eating healthy to feel good.

Baby, that’s just me.

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

Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy.

No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor.

The truth is that male religious leaders have had – and still have – an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the later. Their continuing choice provides the foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world.

For me, as a feminist, I would say it should be up to the woman to decide if she wants to be a mom … If she wants to go out and work, have a career other than being a mom, then she should be able to do that as well.

If we want our daughters to dream bigger than we did we still have work to do.

A strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink.

The first thing about empowerment is to understand that you have the right to be involved. The second one is that you have something important to contribute. And the third piece is that you have to take the risk to contribute it.

I’m trying to do my part as a citizen. My part as a Hispanic. My part as a woman. As an American. I enjoy it. I think everybody should be civically engaged in a level that will affect policy. That’s the point. That how our government is set up.

Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.

Women have been trained to speak softly and carry a lipstick. Those days are over.

I am a woman with thoughts and questions and sh*t to say. I say if I’m beautiful. I say if I’m strong. You will not determine my story – I will.

The women that inspire me, to be honest, are the women that struggle.

But let me tell you, this gender thing is history. You’re looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues.

It’s work having a vagina. Guys don’t think that it’s work but it is. You think it shows up like that to the event? It doesn’t. Every night it’s like getting it ready for its first Quinceanera, believe me.

I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.

I am not a woman, so I don’t have bad days.
