It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.

Life sweeps you up. Some people resist a lot. I probably haven't resisted very much.

---

You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

---

It is technically a failure when you don't try.

---

I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.

---

It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.

---

I think that life force is invaluable.

---

Daring to me is having courage; it's a daily meditation to take breath and find strength.

---

Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.
