“Even when I get on airplanes, very often, as I walk down the aisle, I notice a lot of people staring or whispering. I recognize the fact that yes, to a lot of people, I will always be that 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped and who was held captive.”
“I don't feel famous personally, and I feel like when most people get to know me, they're like, 'Oh, she's just the same as everybody else.'”
“I've got great dogs. I've got a great family. I mean, I couldn't be happier.”
“Only remember: I am not the ease, but the end.I am not to blind you, but to find you.What you think is the sirens singing to lure you to your doom is only the voice of the inevitable, welcoming you after so long a wait. I was made only for you.”
“That happened to me, but I'm so much more than that girl that was kidnapped.”
“This life is a test, and we're put down here to make choices. The truth is, the bad choices of other people can hurt us.”
“Religion has been a huge part of my life.”
