Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.

You can control what you put in your body - 100 percent. You really can control your level of fitness and how your body looks.

I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.

Sexuality, desirability has nothing to do with body type. It has to do with how you feel from within. I was at my fattest best in 'The Dirty Picture,' and I was called the most desirable. So there you go. I am quite well-endowed, so I have no complaints.

The foundation of beauty is the body.

Most urgently, women's identity must be premised upon our 'beauty' so that we will remain vulnerable to outside approval, carrying the vital sensitive organ of self-esteem exposed to the air.

There is something attractive about taking risks.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.
