I am interested in people. I'm interested in telling stories, whether that is behind the camera or in front of the camera.

I've often contemplated some kind of tummy tuck surgery, but I know this is not the answer.

As a photographer, there are times when I have to decide if it's appropriate to invade a moment with my camera.

Glenda Bailey is a woman after my own heart who believes that climbing the career ladder can be overrated, to say the least. After all, why not just go for what you want now?
Amanda de Cadenet -
The power that you have as a young woman, unless you have great self-esteem, is largely based on how the rest of the world reacts to you. And so it's kind of a superficial confidence that you have, you know?

From 12-year-old girls to 70-year-old matriarchs, I know hundreds of women who have some sort of body image issue. This is sad and seriously worrying, but it's true, and it's why I feel some kind of social responsibility to do what I can to show a variety of body types in fashion magazines.

I don't marry myself to one belief system.

My kids see feminism in action every day, and leading by imperfect example is how I'm raising them.

Female friendships have sustained me from my earliest days as a child.

Learning how to have 'healthy' attachments sounds easy, but in fact, for someone like me who had damaged early relationships, it's like learning to be fluent in Chinese.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I share personal things about myself in the context of my interviews and in 'It's Messy' - but that's 20 percent of my life.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I try to make things that are not elitist.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I will not sell anything ever again that I do not believe in. I'm not willing to do a job for pure financial gain. I've done that, and it wasn't worth it.

While Jane Fonda has no shortage of knowledge to share, I was particularly moved and fascinated by her recovery from bulimia, which she battled with for over 25 years.

I don't raise my daughter differently than her twin brother, to the point where she only wanted to wear his clothes - sweatpants, baggy T-shirts, and high-tops - for a year straight. She claims it's because she needs to be 'comfortable and functional,' and who can blame her? I would wear a tracksuit seven out of seven days if I could.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I tend to side with people who are considered the underdog. I have empathy.
Amanda de Cadenet -
It doesn't matter how many people adore you or how skinny, successful, smart, talented, funny, kind, or compassionate you are. None of it matters if you don't see your wonderful self.

I've been privileged to be able to be a part of some of my girlfriends' lives at their breaking points.
