About the author

Popular quotes

“By starving myself into society’s beauty ideal, I had compromised my success, my independence, and my quality of life. Being overweight was really no different. It was just the “f— you” response to the same pressure. I was still responding to the pressure to comply to the fashion industry’s standards of beauty, just in the negative sense. I was still answering to their demands when really I shouldn’t have been listening to them at all. The images of stick-thin prepubescent girls never should have had power over me. I should’ve had my sights set on successful businesswomen and successful female artists, authors, and politicians to emulate. Instead I stupidly and pointlessly just wanted to be considered pretty. I squandered my brain and my talent to squeeze into a size 2 dress while my male counterparts went to work on making money, making policy, making a difference.”
― Portia de Rossi, quote from Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain

“All the characters ever written are already inside you. It's just a matter of accessing them and bringing them forward. And having no fear of the dark side.”
― Jane Lynch, quote from Happy Accidents

“I knew then that to come up in life you require talent, hard work, aggression and connections.”
― Sudha Murty, quote from How I Taught My Grandmother to Read and Other Stories

“These woods were engrained in her soul, a part of her, and she knew when a predator was near. The hair on the back of her neck stood up, a chill crept down her back before seeping through her limbs. She froze, she couldn't breathe. She didn't move. She was nervous that moving would only trigger an attack. She knew when an animal was close to its end, but this time she was not the hunter, and it was her end she feared. She was certain that there was the deadliest kind of predator near her right now.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade

“I wouldn’t change a thing,” he whispered against her cheek.
“Why?”
“Because I love you.”
“Is it so simple then?”
He smiled back at her. “Yes.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Refugee
