Katherine Schwarzenegger Quotes

Standards are a little crazy these days. I think that, when you go to sleep, as long as you're happy with the way you are and the way you look, that's the most important thing.

I get mad at my girlfriends when they say things about their neck or something, "My neck is a disaster," and I'm like, "Come on, you don't even believe that."

I don't think anyone else is wrong for trying to fight it, however.
