I started realizing I could be an example for women to not just be aware of breast cancer but to act on it. To make an appointment, to give themselves an exam.

You wear clothes so beautifully!

I have a new found respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery.

There are thin girls with infertility issues, normal sized girls with infertility issues and overweight girls with infertility issues. Unless your doctor tells you your weight is affecting you in some way... once the doctor rules it out, that's really not it.

A rumor that followed me forever was that my family was in the mafia. For years I had to live with it. They'd call me the mafia princess, so I rolled with it for the rest of high school. People even joke about it today.

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

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