Elle Macpherson

“It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.”

“True beauty comes from within. It comes from kindness, compassion and a sense of humour.”

“I believe that the choice to be happy is a conscious decision. It's not something that happens to you. You have to want it.”

“I really believe that beauty comes from wellness.”

“I'm a big believer in the power of the mind to heal the body.”

“I think laughter is the best medicine. It's a great way to relieve stress.”

“My motivation is my children. They're my inspiration.”

“I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.”

“I believe in the power of intention. I believe that what you focus on, you create. And I believe in the power of gratitude.”

“When you rely on others for your self-worth, you're in trouble.”

“I try to live in a state of grace and gratitude.”

“Health is not about the weight you lose, but about the life you gain.”

“For me, it's about being strong and fit. I don't want to be skinny. I want to be healthy.”

“When you're a mother, you're not the number one anymore. You're number two, and that's a good thing.”
