I actually wanted to be a fashion designer. I did a lot with the sewing machine at home - - for Barbie or for carnival or just for fun. Then I saw this ad in the newspaper. And as young girls sometimes do some stupid things, I filled in the coupon and sent in my photos.

A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me.

I have always been too round to do fashion shows.

My best advice is to work out with a buddy. They keep you motivated and get you out of bed.

I always try to make my things happen.

I don't really care if they like me or not.

I certainly like working in Germany.
