To put it simply - you know, a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don't buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing, or an exciting thing, or a wonderful thing.

I enjoy the idea that even though I'm resting, I'm accomplishing something by reading a book.

I'm very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don't even like the word feminism because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I'm not interested in trying to pretend to be a man. I don't want to embrace manhood, I want to embrace my womanhood.

I just don't think that a lot of the time the messages we send kids prepare them for real life.

I was a good student, I was good at soccer, I was vice president of the student council, I was a pretty girl.

I am who I am and I am what I am. And it's beautiful. And it's okay even if it doesn't look like the sexiest Victoria Secret model. It also boils down to my interactions with people.

I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.
