Zitat des Tages von Amanda de Cadenet:

I believe I was a codependent out of the womb and have been struggling to free myself from its vice-like grip for many, many years.

The most beautiful girl in the room not only gets the guy, she lands the job, gets better service at a restaurant, rises through the social ranks before her friends. Doors open for the beautiful woman that may not for a female who is twice as smart but half as beautiful.

I've wanted to interview Hillary Clinton since I was 15 years old.

I had lived with abuse for many years, but the worst abuse has been at my own hands and the appalling situations I have tolerated.

Spirituality is an anchor for me and guides me through life.

Amanda de Cadenet

I have met people on the subway who have told me the most profound stories, and I am convinced we all have something to teach each other if we just slow down long enough to hear the message.

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.

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.

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 think that the friendship that women share is so powerful. In fact, there's nothing quite like it. People talk about mother-child bonds, but I would argue that female friendship bond is also in a league unto its own.

I was about 15 years old, and I needed a job, and somebody I know - I don't even know who it was - said that there was a television show that needed a presenter and that I should go and audition for it, so I did. That was a show called 'The Word,' and I got that job.

Amanda de Cadenet

Every episode of 'The Conversation' was created to be a platform for women, to connect women, and to allow women's voices to be heard as much as possible. That's why I launched that show on a television network and online simultaneously.

Amanda de Cadenet

I've never interviewed anyone where I set out to try to persuade them to reveal something. Instead, it's about creating a space that allows someone to be authentic without judgment on my part.

Amanda de Cadenet

I try to make things that are not elitist.

Amanda de Cadenet

Sitting down with the insightful Gabourey Sidibe was a wonderful experience.

Amanda de Cadenet

Understanding money is part of being independent. You can't be self-sufficient if you're relying on someone else.

Amanda de Cadenet

Being present with a person and just seeing them for who they are is something that is so rarely given to us, and I try to do that with everyone I meet.

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.

Amanda de Cadenet

People know what authentic communication feels like, so having someone else handle your social media/commenting doesn't feel honest to me.

Amanda de Cadenet

As women, we're trying to be the best mothers and partners and have careers. We're trying to do so much. It's okay to say to other women, 'How do you do this?' Because I honestly don't know. The more we are honest, the more you realize we're all just trying to figure this out.

Amanda de Cadenet

I love photography - I fell in love with photography, I think, because it was my own thing, it wasn't something I needed other people's permission to do. So, it was really freeing for me actually to be able to not be a famous person and just to take pictures.

Amanda de Cadenet

Freedom is... not to be bound by my wounds. And to be able to eat cake every day.

Amanda de Cadenet

The fact is external feminine beauty is highly valued, and we are constantly given the message that a slamming body is the most valuable thing a woman can possess.

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.

Amanda de Cadenet

When young people implode, we judge them rather than saying they need help.

Amanda de Cadenet

With the combination of spending a fair amount of time on planes, having twins that go to elementary school, and generally living a lifestyle that is pretty high-stress, I have been known to run myself down quite easily, so I am pretty much a petri dish for germs, colds, and flus.

Amanda de Cadenet

I go to the Korean spa when the kids go to bed. It's like I turn my brain off.

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 believe women need to hear stories and see images that they can identify with, not media-fabricated ideals that even the 'role models' themselves can't live up to.

Amanda de Cadenet

I've built 'The Conversation' from the ground up with no business training.

Amanda de Cadenet

As a kid, I trained to be an Olympic gymnast. My schedule was rigorous. Four hours a day, Monday through Saturday, I was at the gym. My body was like a boy's, narrow hips, flat-chested, wide shoulders. When I was 12, I badly injured my ankle and was forced to stop training immediately.

Amanda de Cadenet

Retouching is an incredible tool but can also create unrealistic expectations for women who don't understand that an image is not how the subject really looks. Even the subjects themselves can't live up to their retouched images.

Amanda de Cadenet

People reacted to how I looked, and that was certainly a power to have as a young girl, but not one that you really understand.

Amanda de Cadenet

Things are only as important as you make them out to be.

Amanda de Cadenet

If I'm looking at life without a spiritual perspective, it's a lot more painful, a lot more confusing, and there's so much that I don't understand.
