I look in the mirror and it's hard for me. I am really thin. I want to look fit and beautiful and sexy, and I can't.

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 love trainwrecks on live TV.

I design for a woman who is on the go. Women are busier than ever, and I wanted to design a collection that can go from day to night and be fashionable. Sometimes I wear three outfits in one day.

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.

You can never take your reputation back. There really is nothing as powerful as a good reputation.

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.
