“I am a woman and when I think, I must speak.”

I’m always happy when I’m surrounded by water, I think I’m a Mermaid or I was a mermaid.

The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspective, it humbles you and makes you feel almost like you’ve been baptized. I feel born again when I get out of the ocean.

Have your own life before you become somebody’s wife.

I’m a workaholic and I don’t believe in ‘no.’ If I’m not sleeping, nobody’s sleeping.

A true diva is graceful, and talented, and strong, and fearless and brave and someone with humility.

I was thinkin if I cheated on my fears, broke up with my doubts, got engaged to my faith. I can marry my dreams.

I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work.

I get nervous when I don’t get nervous. If I’m nervous I know I’m going to have a good show.

With a lot of success comes a lot of negativity.

I think it’s healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care.

If he invited you out, he`s got to pay

We are all the same and we all want the same things: the right to be happy, to be just who we want to be and to love who we want to love.

If you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that’s easier said than done, but keep trying.

Happiness comes from you. No one else can make you happy. You make you happy.

I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

My mother always taught me to be strong and to never be a victim. Never make excuses. Never expect anyone else to provide for me things I know I can provide for myself.

To me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

Diversity has got to be a part of modern feminism, and I think that my feminism is stronger because its an inclusive thing. I won’t be backed into a corner that polarizes me against other women. And I wished they wouldn’t be either.

A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.

We broke through the feminine mystique and women who were wives, mothers and housewives began to find themselves as people. That didn’t mean they stopped, or had to stop, being mothers, wives or even liking their homes.

I realized that what I was saying was threatening, somehow, to the editors of women’s magazines. That it threatened the very world they were trying to paint, what I then called the “feminine mystique.”

When one begins to think about it, America depends rather heavily on women’s passive dependence, their femininity. Femininity, if one still wants to call it that, makes American women a target and a victim of the sexual sell.

The feminist revolution had to be fought because women quite simply were stopped at a state of evolution far short of their human capacity.

The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
