“When I say I'm beautiful, I don't say it so someone will clap and think I'm brave. I'm not doing it so that someone will comment on how confident I am. I don't say it with ego and I don't say it defensively. I don't say it meaning that people who look like me are better than people who look like you. I say it because I believe it. I've earned every centimeter of my beauty. ”

“I knew what I looked like. I had mirrors in my home. I'd just seen myself in pictures. I wasn't in the dark about it. I just assumed at that time that if I could display a talent worthy of praise, if I could prove that I was worthy of attention, that I wasn't just who you thought I was... I guess I thought I wouldn't be fat anymore. That may seem silly. I know that now. But at the time I thought that if I could just get the world to see me the way I saw myself then my body wouldn't be the thing you walked away thinking about.”

“I don't think it's funny when people stuff pillows in their clothing to look like me. I don't think it's funny when people paint their faces to look like me. I don't think it's funny when a stranger calls me a fat bitch no matter what they're offering to do for me. I don't think it's funny that I'm not allowed to say my feelings are hurt. Feelings aren't an absence of strength. I know this for sure. So why should I pretend to have a sense of humor just to allow someone else to take shots at me?”
