A few years ago I lost 30 pounds and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty?' I think I'm beautiful either way.

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness I was never going to be forgiven.

If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

As I grew older I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.

More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers.

I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody - from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.

Turns out I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.
