Growing up, I wish I hadn't tried so hard to fit in. I'd tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it's beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It's tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get.

In high school I was an outcast... I wasn't cool to hang out with. I ate my lunch in a bathroom stall because that was the one place I could go where I wouldn't been seen.

Once, I had to clip a jacket back to take a picture, and after they were done I forgot to remove the clip until someone noticed.

I am a foodie. I'm not afraid to say it.

Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.

When my kids were growing up, I wanted their teachers to teach them science, reading, math and history. I also wanted them to care about my kids. But I did not want my children's public school teachers teaching them religion. That was my job as a parent and the job of our church, Sunday school, and youth group.

In a world in which the total of human knowledge is doubling about every ten years, our security can rest only on our ability to learn.

No one should be denied the opportunity to get an education and increase their earning potential based solely on their inability to pay for a college education.
