One of the big, most underlying messages for me is celebrating beauty that is not typical.

Not surprisingly, most people feel most beautiful when they are involved in an act of service, or are doing something that makes them feel generous, connected, or seen by others.

I never personally complained; everybody else complained for me.

If anyone ever asked me what I had to complain about it would not have taken long to tell them. Maybe I was just easily pleased.

I'm not complaining about my life; every moment of it has been fantastic, and I'm so lucky.

I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty - a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don't think one should have to apologise for it.

I've traveled around the world and made love with many satisfied women. So I decided to share my story.

You know, all these sentiments about beauty coming from within, they've always resonated when I've read them, but it takes a bit of living to truly appreciate them. To realise we are so much more than our experiences, that we are who we are because of the lessons we've learnt, now that's what true 'beauty' is for me.

I view the experiences that I have had - both the tough ones and the pleasant ones - as gifts.

I'm not a beautiful person and I never have been.
