Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

When I was 16, I filmed an episode of 'Full House' where my family goes to Disney World. I remember putting on baggy overalls just to hide my stomach. When I watched it, I was pretty disappointed and bummed out looking at myself... I didn't feel good about my own body.
If I had the use of my body, I would throw it out the window.
I don't believe in 'thinking' old. Although I've transitioned through many bodies — a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult — my spirit is unchanged.

I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.

What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there's a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It's unspeakable.
Anorexia is a response to cultural images of the female body — waiflike, angular — that both capitulates to the ideal and also mocks it, strips away all the ancillary signs of sexuality, strips away breasts and hips and butt and leaves in their place a garish caricature, a cruel cartoon of flesh and bone.
Only when you are aware of the uniqueness of everyone's individual body will you begin to have a sense of your own self-worth.
It's about not going to the well all the time. The body has limits. The mind has limits, too.
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.
You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.
The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.
The body of a beautiful woman is not made for love; it is too exquisite.
