Dinner is a great first date. Don't believe that stuff about girls not wanting to eat on a first date - sharing a romantic meal is so sexy.

I want someone who can keep me on my toes, has a good sense of humor and a good heart.

Whatever it takes to make you more secure with yourself, you can learn to do it.

My mom was a seamstress, and I wish I'd learned to sew because I'm obsessed with 'Project Runway!'

I was performing in this burlesque group, and we would go to dance rehearsals every day. You'd use every part of your body. Even though some of it is slow, it takes a lot of muscle to be able to dip down and come back up.

I'm very independent, I like to be alone a lot, I like to go shopping by myself - that's my quiet time.

Honestly, in the beginning, it was really tough. Coming from Cincinnati, Ohio, I was just a girl who had a dream, which was to go to Los Angeles, have a career and to be able to support my family. To have a dream like that and, you know, you're not ready.
