I know there are a lot of eyes on me now from young girls, and it makes me so proud. The only Black woman examples aren't Rihanna and Beyoncé. It makes me proud that I am a classical ballerina and they can look at me and see another way to succeed. That is setting a new standard.
Keep my eyes fixed on You, Lord. Help me to stop tinkering and realize my total inability to change. I look to You to change me and give me victory as I focus on Your friendly eyes looking lovingly at me. Amen.
Torrid has given me an amazing opportunity. I can reach out to different girls and help them realize that they are beautiful, too.
I can go wherever, to Kuala Lumpur or wherever, and if somebody will ask me where I'm from and I say I'm from Iceland, they say, "Yeah, Björk." And that makes me very proud, and that makes me proud to be an Icelandic artist.
There's this whole idea of perfection. What young girls don't realize is that these girls do have problems. It's good for people to realize everyone is human.
I am proud to be a girl, and I know that girls can change the world.
Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".
Although playing baseball is my biggest passion, the help my foundation has been able to provide people over the years makes me very proud.
My movie now, to me, is going to help so many people to realize that it is okay to ask for help. It took me so long to be able to ask for somebody to help me.
I think that's what you and I have in common, Donatella Versace, that careful balance. It makes me proud to be an Italian. In the end, I am proud to do what I do.
I'm really proud to be a woman making music. Nothing makes me happier than when other women approach me at shows and say, "You've inspired me to start writing music," or, "I feel like we could be best friends." Music is a male-dominated business, so it's nice to see bands with girls in them, and not just a bunch of dudes with beards in flannel shirts.
I've spent so much of my youth trying to change people or change girls and then having it done to me and people wanting me to change.
If it could have happened through a film that I was associated with, it would have made be doubly proud. It makes me proud anyway. I am not disappointed.
If you need me or my help I will help you, whatever path you may follow. For me there is no difference. All paths lead to the same goal, that is, to realize the Divine.
I try so hard to be true to myself. I hope I can help other girls realize that they don't have to do things just because everyone else is doing them.
I look at my roommates who are so proud of me that it makes me proud.
