For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

A few pounds show a lot on my body. But it's okay. I believe women look good with a bit of softness to them.

I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu.

For 15 years, I've been playing the same character - which is myself - and I'm bored with 'myself'.

Being a parent is a huge part of who I am, and of course I share that with other women. I'm not just a business woman. I'm my sons' mother and my husband's wife - although I never post about him on social media because he'd probably divorce me if I did! But I think by showing who I am as a mom and as a business owner, I show other women that we're all balancing those two worlds.

You check to see the facts are correct where business is concerned but if I read everything that was written about me, I'd end up feeling totally insecure about myself.

I've always found it very difficult to understand the laws as far as nudity in America - how some things are pornographic and some things are not pornographic. It's against the law to go topless on the beach, but you can go buy a gun. That just seems so absurd to me.
