How many girls, models or not, are secure about their bodies? I think I'm more realistic about what to expect of myself now. I also have a lot of other things than modeling going on in my life that I'm proud of.

As my mom always said, 'You'd rather have smile lines than frown lines.'

I'm all-American. Sexy but not intimidating. Not the kind of woman who's going to steal someone's husband.

They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.

Having children really changes your priorities.

If people would treat themselves with the same kind of love they give to their friends, that would be such a great gift we could give ourselves.

I hated turning 40; the whole idea of it stank. But once I got through it, I was fine.
