Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.

The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power and if I didn't betray it I'd be ashamed of myself.

I look to longevity. I just consider myself an actress and getting good roles. If being a 'superstar' gets me good roles then that's a positive thing. But my goal isn't just to be a superstar. It's to act for a long time.

I realize myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

Since I've been in Playboy myself in Australia I love it and I think it's really empowering and positive towards women which is not a view that many women hold.

Since turning professional at 18 I have travelled the world playing the game that I love and consider myself a global player. As the World No.1 right now I wish to be a positive role model and a sportsperson that people respect and enjoy watching.

You might think the thinner version of yourself is going to be the most positive or confident but that's not how it is for me. When I'm over 200 pounds that's when I'm the most confident version of myself.

Each season I find myself constantly inspired by 'The Biggest Loser' contestants. Their tenacity and willingness to learn new healthy habits is tremendous and the results speak for themselves. I am honored to be part of such an inspiring program that helps inspire positive change in so many lives.

I turned 54 this year and I find myself feeling like I'm in a bit of a race to get down on paper the way I really feel about life - or the way it has presented to me. And because it has presented to me very beautifully this is hard. It is technically very hard to show positive manifestations.

I don't like to read about myself whether it be positive or negative.
