I'm naturally athletic. I've been involved in sports since I could walk. So, for me to be sedentary is just unacceptable. Not only is it great for your physical body, but it gives me more energy during the day if I've worked out. I feel better. I look better.

When people call me a sex icon, it's flattering but it never goes to my head because I never felt sexy as a teenager.

I wasn't going to let a little thing like a hurricane keep me from wearing my bathing suit.

When you're fighting for social justice, one of my biggest pet peeves is speaking out of ignorance.

I've always thought of myself as a role model even before being a 'celebrity.' I've always been doing charity work and volunteering in the community since I was 8, so when you do that, I think you just assume that role when you put yourself out there.

I'm a terrific Mexican cook, and I just love Mexican food. And I love cooking Mexican food. That's pretty much my weakness...and barbecue beef...and Texas beef...and brisket. Any red meat I can get my hands on.
