“I was really, really shy when I was a little girl.” — Dita Von Teese

I make a point to never, ever point out my physical flaws... this is advice I give to women as often as I can. People don't notice the things we see in ourselves that we hate, so why direct them to it?

I'm more of an exaggerator than a liar.

People who follow all the rules and chase every trend tend to get forgotten - they look great, but they're not as memorable.

I prefer the competitive atmosphere of a classroom setting, like yoga or Pilates. That keeps me going. Although performing on stage is great exercise!
