I was always considered the athletic one, and that translated into big. I was the big one. Thankfully, so many more body types are accepted these days. What I've been trying to do, and I'm seeing more now with my girlfriends, too, is celebrate other people.

The thing I'm the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I'm fabulous.

Modeling is the world that I feel most welcome in.

I have a trainer, and I'm not a trainer person. I don't like the attention. I don't like the one-on-one scrutiny. But I've had to enter into a very sort of rigorous rehabilitation program to avoid surgery on my back. I've already had four surgeries on my feet and two on my knee - all from Broadway dancing injuries. On Broadway, they don't really rehab the dancers like they do in sports. It's, "The show must go on" .

The very damaging, frightening part of postpartum is the lack of perspective and the lack of priority and understanding what is really important.

My mother totally protected me as a model. She took me on every look-see, she was there on the set if I wanted her to be.

What does good in bed mean to me? When I'm sick and I stay home from school propped up with lots of pillows watching TV and my mom brings me soup - that's good in bed.
