I have a big personality, and I think big personality plus blond hair makes me come across as glib. With dark hair, people look at your face more. Before, it was all about the hair.

I love hearing stories about, you know, people who are overcoming challenges in their life. And when you experience hardships, you can either fold or rally, and just by a paradigm shift in your belief system.

I want to help others 'think first' before diving into a pool or lake to prevent these types of life-changing accidents. I know I'm in a very fortunate minority and hope my story inspires both adults and children to be more careful.

There are still personalities that you bond with or a fighting spirit that you connect with, but as a host you have to stay impartial and root for all of them.

I broke my neck, it's a classic neck break from chin to chest. If I had been alone, I would probably be dead.

Ive been a swimmer and a diver for quite a while. It was something that I think I got too comfortable with, and I dove into my black-bottomed pool and hit the slope from the shallow end to the deep end. And I had a chin to chest paralyzing break.

I’m a Southern girl. I like when they open the door and pull out a chair. I’m really into a man’s man.
