This is a broad thought, but loving yourself and having the support so that you can love yourself is the most important thing that young people in Chicago can get.
Everyone just talks about the problems our teenage girls are facing and what they're dealing with. But there was, to me, a void in how they were being served or helped. I thought, 'Wow, I'd love to create something.'
I think I deliberately sold out a couple of times. I picked the songs that I thought would do well in the marketplace, even though I didn't really love the song.
I love to learn, and Victoria's Secret has given me more opportunities than I ever thought possible. I like doing things that scare me - I've learned never to doubt myself.
I love the idea of leaving some of the original abstract thought in, because the problem is that when you pick up a pen you become a snob, your own worse critic. You edit yourself in a way that is non-creative.
I used to do a little acting in school. It was my first love, and I really thought I would be doing it as a career. I really wanted to complete that part of my ambition.
I trained as a ballet dancer and fell in love with Rudolf Nureyev; I thought him the most beautiful creature. My mum had to break it to me that not only was he gay, but he was dead.
Any one reflecting upon the thought he has of the delight, which any present or absent thing is apt to produce in him, has the idea we call love.

After much thought and prayer, I have come to my own personal conclusion that we shouldn't tell people who they can love or who they can marry.

You must refuse to entertain or shelter in your mind, any thought or belief that goes against your happiness and success in life.
The mind can start to work in your favor or against you at any given time. It's a matter of turning your thoughts and beliefs around.
Any thought or belief that doesn't suggest the realities of success and happiness in your life, should never be granted the access to dwell in your mind.
Happiness is nothing but a blissful feeling that can only be activated when positive thoughts and beliefs are constantly dwelling in one's mind.
Never seize to constantly remind yourself that your positive thoughts and beliefs are the pillars of your peace of mind.
It is only when you fail to control your fears through your thoughts and beliefs that they would start to control you.
It is impossible for one to become happy in life, if one keeps holding on to the thoughts and beliefs that caused one's misery in the first place.
Every given moment calls for you to examine the thoughts and beliefs in your mind to ensure that they are constantly in favor of your true destiny on earth.
If the thought of it brings sorrow to your mind, then by all means place a positive interpretation on it and then switch your focus to what brings you joy.
Any thought that goes against your happiness or progress surely doesn't deserve a space in your mind.
