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

Anorexia was there for me before I got into modeling, but because of the arena and the demands, the disease really got out of control for me. It's like being an alcoholic and going and being a bartender.

I grew up on antibiotics. Every ailment - sore throats, earaches, flus - warranted a trip to the doctor and in most cases some kind of prescription.

I've found that balance is key. I'm no longer an extremist in any one direction.

I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I am a friend of women and I am their advocate.

There comes a moment as a parent when you realize you will no longer be the center of your child's universe.

You have to find a balance with food in your life - you can't take out food. It can be absolutely terrifying.
