I was not a girl who grew up buying $100 candles. I was the girl who ran out of gas on her way to an audition.
All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.
As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.
To go from being an unpopular, chubby little kid who was chasing girls and couldn't seem to catch them, to being chased after and making sure I ran slow enough that I did get caught, it was 180 degree turn. It was being given the keys to the candy store.

There's not a single person in Arizona today who would say the Grand Canyon was a mistake.
What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.
I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.
