For me, growing up felt like a roller coaster ride at times, but looking back, I don't think that it was such a bad thing. It was all part of the excitement of being young.

One of the perks of growing up, but also one of the biggest challenges, is making decisions about the future. Deciding what kind of job you want, whether you want to finish school, or whether you want to go to university are huge choices to make.

Women's bodies have always been used as a spectacle and objectified.

I knew it was right to make time for myself to have adventures and fulfil dreams.

I greatly enjoy reading the biographies of scientists, and when doing so I always hope to learn the secrets of their success. Alas, those secrets generally remain elusive.

Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is only the end if you decide to stop.

If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.

I expect either total success or total failure. That's my lot in life.
