I never thought I was pretty enough. I was kind of tall and lanky. I don't mind it now, but back in the day I hated it. I would tell myself that what I think is ugly at 17 is actually what's going to be pretty about me later.

I love trainwrecks on live TV.

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

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.

When you do a reality show and host shows, it's hard to have secrets.

I just feel such a connection to the little kids in Naples. I remember being on the street wanting a small piece of candy.

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.
