I'm the exact same person I was before (cancer). I'm still shallow, I still love clothes, I still want to talk fashion, I still want to gossip, so lay it on me.

To be a true fashionista, you have to be on the best-dressed list and worst-dressed list.

Chicago is incredibly gracious. People here have so much pride.

Life's better now. I wouldn't do it all over again, though. It's funny how life works. Maybe it was meant to happen for many reasons, because my life in many ways richer.

I love regal looks on the Oscars red carpet. I just love old-Hollywood glamour. I love hair pulled back off the face, beautiful makeup...long sleeves are really elegant. The Oscars are not a place to be too flirty or fun or sexy.

If you know me, you know that nothing embarrasses me. Anything could happen to me on live television, and I sincerely don't care.

I would love to interview Roberto Benigni just so I could tell him how much his movie, life is beautiful, meant to me.
