I love true love, and I'm a woman who wants to be married for a lifetime. That traditional life is something that I want.

But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more'.

If I have a day off, I want to get on a plane and go to Paris! If I have a couple hours off work, I want to run to the market and make a four-course meal. I like to do things that are unexpected.

Since I was 15 years old, all I wanted was to find the guy I was going to marry.

It's much easier to cheat than it is to be loyal. Everyone goes through down times. You just don't put yourself in those situations, you know?

Growing up, others girls wanted to dance and help their mums with the cooking. I liked to play soccer with the boys. Or I'd be off on my own, tilting mirrors towards the sun in order to burn armies of ants. That was my idea of fun.

There's a directness and a feistiness to being from Jersey.
