“Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. My mama, she told me don’t worry about your size. She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night. Yeah I won’t be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll, so if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along.”

Owning your curves means being confident – actually being confident – in your own skin. Growing up was tricky for me, it was so hard to shop with all of my friends and not being able to fit into the tiny clothes they were wearing.

Now that I’m famous, guys don’t hit on me.

I want to be better at being single, and I want to be better at feeling okay about being single. I don’t need a boyfriend.

Art is the colors and textures of your imagination.

When I got famous, all of a sudden guys wouldn’t look at me. Period. So I felt a little sad, a little frustrated. Like, What’s going on here? I’ve never been prettier in my life and I’m so cool and successful.

Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.

I tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that’s not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, ‘Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.’

So let’s take our time to say what we want. Use what we got before it’s all gone.

I didn’t know fashion or any of that until the label gave me a stylist.

You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll.

If you got beauty, beauty, just raise em up. Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top.

If you asked me, ‘What do you want to say?’ it would be, ‘Love yourself more.’

As the CEO running my life, running Meghan Trainor, I have to say ‘no’ to things all the time, and it’s been very uncomfortable and very difficult. I’ve said ‘no’ and it’s actually worked – even when I never thought it would work.

We’ve shared so much laughter, so many tears. We’re a spiritual bond that grows stronger each year. We’re not sisters by birth, but we knew from the start, something put us together to be sisters by heart.

I don’t consider myself a feminist, but I’m down for my first opportunity to say something to the world to be so meaningful. If you asked me, ‘What do you want to say?’ it would be, ‘Love yourself more.’

It’s all about loving what you got and rocking it.

Squeeze my nipples when you ride me to make sure that we both pour out all over our bodies togetherness.

Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct.

I think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. Our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape.

I don’t have a problem with my body. I’m not just going to strip off all my clothing, but if the part calls for it and I don’t think there’s any way round, I’m absolutely fine.

Everyone is saying that I’m retiring, but I want to solemnly declare, that I don’t want to retire, I just want to do things a bit less dangerous to my body, less dangerous action.

It must not content us to take our bodies to church if we leave our hearts at home.

An ‘I’ without a body is a possibility. But a body without an ‘I’ is utterly impossible.

There is no pure success. I am action actor. I have broken almost every piece of my body.
