"Sometimes life guides you on a path so that you can find yourself." — Denise Bidot

Love is unconditional. Also, love for me is different because I find that - I'm a mom and so for me love for my daughter is gonna always be number one.

My mom struggled with her weight so much growing up. I watched her go from a size 2 to a size 22. I just kept seeing her try all these unhealthy ways to lose weight and struggle to be something she wasn't meant to be. I knew early on that I wasn't willing to compromise that way.

There are so many layers to what makes you feel empowered. Obviously, self-love. If you can't get into that, you can't get into moving to care about others and changing the world.

I used to audition for all those Disney Channel shows, and I was always told that I had the leading-lady personality but was too developed and too curvy.

I'm proud of my stretch marks. For so long in my life, I thought those were things I needed to hide or things that made me imperfect, and I came to realize that those are the qualities that made me unique.

It is about time we reprogram the way women think, and I think it is important to push that toward women who need to understand that beauty is not one-sided.

I feel the most confident when I'm by the ocean with the salt in my hair and zero makeup on.

Very early on I knew I wanted to be in entertainment.
