Like every mother, my wish - every birthday - is for my children to stay healthy (and) for my family to remain healthy.

On the superficiality of the industry: We are setting an example of what we think is beautiful and you really want to put that much make up on me?

For whatever reason, I don't know why, but Cambodians learned something in their suffering and their struggle that we have lost touch with.

I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that's just the best way to live.

I don't really send text messages. I rarely carry my phone. I occasionally check messages at the end of the night, but I don't carry it around.

~Sometimes, when I want to take on the world, I try to remember that it's just as important to sit down and ask my son how he's feeling or talk to him about life.~

I just stay healthy all year round. I try to feel good in my skin. For me, I have trained in ballet my whole life so my body really feels best when I feel strong and tight and toned, and I think that comes from years and years of constant training as a ballerina. Leading up to the show, getting out there in your underwear, you just want to feel your best mainly in your head than more anything else. Obviously you want to feel good physically too, so it's more just in your head, pushing yourself, approaching this challenge and taking the opportunity to push yourself a little further.
