Wearing a bikini on a magazine cover is my 41st birthday present to myself.

I constantly work at maintaining balance. For me, my family comes first. If my family is taken care of, then everything else usually falls into place.

I drink a lot of water and I never leave the house without putting on moisturizer and lip gloss.

I have a wonderful family: My parents are churchgoing, salt-of-the-earth Southern people. They gave me a lot of love and are so unaffected by fame.

I'm very competitive but in a very nice way

Reba is very, very close to everyone around her. She's a classy lady.

A little bit of stage fright, then I'm ready.
