QUOTES:
“It’s about being goal oriented. As long as you are focused on doing your best and being your best self everyday, that’s really all that matters.”
“I think people in their 20s put a lot of pressure on themselves to be perfect and be a certain way, but we need to just sit back and enjoy it.”
"When I made the decision to shoot for Playboy and become a Playmate, I was fully aware that it could come with some criticism and judgement. I am someone who personally does not think nudity is a big deal. Especially if these are photos that are shot in a tasteful way.”
“I hope that the day will come when women aren’t catty toward other women for being comfortable in their bodies and comfortable with their sexuality.”
