Whenever I've had a rough day, I like to pour my frustration into my workouts.

When I go, I go hard.

Gay is not a choice.

I could open up a little gym, and I would be blissfully happy.

I think that when moms just give themselves up, the kids know. They feel guilty; they resent their mother for making them feel guilty, and then they grow up and do the same thing. Whereas my mother showed me that it's okay to focus on yourself.

I'm a capri pant girl.

Fake fat, fake colours, fake flavours, fake sweeteners: this is poison.

When you eat a piece of white bread, think of it as putting a tissue on a fire. But if you eat something that has wholegrains, whether it's a little bit of oatmeal, a little bit of protein, it's like putting a log on the fire.

If I'm looking at a client, I can say, 'Oh, wow, this is where you're weak; this is what you need to work on.' I can correct her in a matter of seconds, and then she's practicing specifically on the thing she needs to work on instead of repeating the same mistakes. Having that feedback is essential for beginners.

Every now and again, you just gotta hit something. Not someone - something.

I love yoga, but the namaste thing only takes you so far.

There are millions of people who do want help. I'm not going to waste my time convincing people who aren't receptive.

If you don't solicit me for help, I'll leave you alone.

Put your choices in perspective.

Allow yourself a few parties, but be mindful the rest of the time.

I'm unbelievably superstitious.

I was 175 pounds at 13 years old and 5 feet tall.

The key is to master a few simple ways to exercise that will burn the most calories in the least time. And you also need to figure out how can you eat more of the good stuff and less of the bad stuff without feeling deprived so your diet regimen feels manageable.

The fad diets are doing way more harm than good.

Try not to say, 'I'm a failure.' Instead, ask, 'What can I do better? What did I do wrong?' Then re-approach.

It's like, 'Oh, well of course you want gay marriage, you're gay.' I think when heterosexual people are talking to their peers and they're like, 'This is an equal rights thing,' it's a little bit easier.

I have this intrinsic sense that everything will be okay.

My dad was a crazy person, but some of the best qualities about me came from him.

In my experience, honesty is the best policy. And being a friend to somebody is not always the best way to help them.
