"It doesn't matter if you're a size 2 or 22, you can be healthy as long as you're taking care of your body, working out, and telling yourself 'I love you' instead of taking in the negativity of beauty standards."
"I didn't even think about hiding anything - I honestly went into it [with the idea that] I'm going to show myself off because no one of my size has ever been in this magazine [Sports Illustrated] and I need other women to know that they are just as beautiful."

"I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt."
"I felt free, once I realized i was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in."
"There is not one standard definition of beauty or one perfect size."
"I don't like to use the words "real women," honestly. I like to use the word woman. And I say that because there are so many women out there who are naturally thin, or are naturally curvy, and I think when we start putting a label on the type of woman it gets misconstrued and starts to offend people. At the end of the day we just all want to be known as women or models or actresses or whatever."
"There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt."
