Life is going to happen to you no matter what weight you are, no matter how famous you are, no matter how much money you have in the bank. No one gets a free pass.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I am interested in people. I'm interested in telling stories, whether that is behind the camera or in front of the camera.

There are women who are just extraordinary, who are smart and brilliant, sensual women in their 70s and even 80s!

As a photographer, there are times when I have to decide if it's appropriate to invade a moment with my camera.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I've grown up around people who love photography, and I think from being photographed for so long, I always wanted to understand how it worked, and I've been fortunate enough to be photographed by some really wonderful photographers, and so I learnt a lot from them, and I always ask them questions.

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

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?
Amanda de Cadenet -
I try to make things that are not elitist.
Amanda de Cadenet -
You can lose who you are so easily when you're being so many things to so many different people.

I've wanted to interview Hillary Clinton since I was 15 years old.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I've often contemplated some kind of tummy tuck surgery, but I know this is not the answer.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I tend to side with people who are considered the underdog. I have empathy.

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.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I don't marry myself to one belief system.
Amanda de Cadenet -
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.
Amanda de Cadenet -
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 -
I'm passionate about women's issues, and there are no outlets for that on TV, so I wanted to create one.
Amanda de Cadenet -
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.

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.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I've been privileged to be able to be a part of some of my girlfriends' lives at their breaking points.
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.
Amanda de Cadenet -
I was a workaholic, I had food issues, and I had body issues. I was in a lot of pain. My parents didn't recognise what was going on.
