Quote of the day

I am an unconventional beauty. I grew up in a high school where if you didn't have a nose job and money and if you weren't thin, you weren't cool, popular, beautiful. I was always told that I wasn't pretty enough to be on television.

I don't know whether God exists or not. . . . Some forms of atheism are arrogant and ignorant and should be rejected, but agnosticism—to admit that we don't know and to search—is all right. . . .

However, the moment I even speak of it, I am embarrassed that I may do something wrong to God in talking about God.
