There is nothing more attractive that a woman who is sure of herself.

My doctor felt that the main contributing factor was so many years of malnutrition, especially during my formative years, even before I got into modeling.

I had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling. My diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin.

I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.

Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.

My days are jam-packed with carpools, classroom assistance, tending to chickens, dogs and seven acres of olive trees!

My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.
