By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.

Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.

I think I've evolved into someone pretty confident - in myself and in my skin.

Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.

I've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency - I favor intensity.

Although some people will say it's a cliché, I think not having had a father when I was growing up affect me negatively because I didn't have a good role model to follow.

The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date.
