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?

I've had two children and no surgery. My body is the result of good genes and a healthy attitude.

Underwear is such an emotional thing.

You have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.

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.

Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.

Acting and modeling have nothing to do with each other.
