I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.

Where I am today... I still have my ups and downs but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be not only for myself but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to.

I'm human I'm not perfect. I make mistakes all the time but I guess my job is to keep those mistakes to myself which I'm already fine doing and just try to be the best I can be for those kids.

I find myself hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself if someone really wanted to get at me they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between I occupy myself as best I can.

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.

I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.
