I am kind of prudish and I have very strict standards about how I present myself. But one of the things that I've always stood by is that women are beautiful and sexy. We shouldn't be afraid of that. [But] we need to make sure that we present that beauty and that sexiness in a way that says we are in control of our bodies. We're strong, we're classy, we're beautiful, powerful beings to be reckoned with, not victims.

I love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.

I love my home. It's the only thing I really spend money on. I don't really spend a lot of money on anything else. No fancy cars. No designer clothes.

There's a massive part of me that can be bold and courageous...very strong and very assertive and independent, almost to a fault sometimes.

In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.
