“We're lucky we live in Canada. If we were living in the United States I'm sure it would be different - all the media attention that we would get in the private part of our lives.”
“I'm a little bit intrepid when it comes to sport. I like to try new things.”
“I can tell you right away that no marriage is easy.”
“We all want equality, we all want to be loved, we all want to have the full potential and opportunity to grow and to participate fully in our societies.”
“When human beings distance themselves from their own inner truth and the truth around them, we can't see ourselves in our true light and that is to our detriment.”
“So, obviously, on International Women's Day, we are honoring the achievements of women, but gender equality and feminism cannot evolve in our humanity if we're not bringing our boys and men along.”
“I organize everything. The kids' lunch to the finances to the spending to the house, groceries, everything.”
“In my past 20 years of interaction with girls across the world I have found that girls live in fear and anxiety while growing up.”
“I feel privileged with what I have... There's so much gratitude.”
“When you share your story and become vulnerable, the ripple effect and the people that you can help along the way is a life lesson.”
“There's no actual title. Except sometimes 'wife of the prime minister,' which, you know, we could be a little more progressive.”
“There's such an aura around the Trudeau name and I understand that. But it's also so weird for me because I'm still a normal bride and, you know, it's a cliché to say, but Justin is just my Justin.”
“People who are open-hearted and open-minded touch me deeply.”
“I still have dreams, but instead of having them written on a little piece of paper, I live a little bit of them every day.”
“Eating was my only way of controlling my life, or so I thought. When you are addicted or suffering from a mental illness, you think you're in complete control. But the opposite is true. You are, in fact, completely out of control.”
“When humans look at each other and look long enough into their eyes, some people are totally uncomfortable with that. I am not.”
“Humans need to touch each other. We need to look at each other... We are human creatures, meant to be linked... So, yes, it's a gift for me to be able to look at somebody that I know or don't know, that I love or maybe not love, and to be able to connect.”
“I don't want to be going to bed at night thinking that people want to harm us, or my family, because that's when the lioness comes out.”
“Even if you look at the planet, and you think it's easy to be distraught and depressed, common goodness - human goodness - is very much alive, and it needs to thrive even more amid the chaos.”
“In the quest for more equality in a society, when we think that men aren't part of the solution, we're truly wrong... We're all winners when we unite for more equality.”
