Everyone gets criticized.

I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

What people don't understand is that it wasn't about Dean or Eddie, it was about whether or not I was in the right place.

Twitter can be great and very bad.

You can't break what's broken already.

What no woman or man needs is anyone telling them they are too fat or too skinny. That just adds to the many stereotypes out there about a persons weight.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.

I never have been an anarchist, I've always had goals and always have acted out of love.

Craigslist does serve as a platform where people help each other for the basics, and also, shows people that the Internet is good for mutual support. I do feel pretty good about that.
