Ricki Lake

I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.

For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.

I am wearing a size 28 Paige Jeans. Jeans don't lie, and I am just happy!

Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.

My body holds on to every part of every, you know, calorie that there is out there.

For me, being memorable is more important than winning.
