The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.

I think I felt that I was very well known for my figure and needed to keep that up for my work. And I regret all of it. I felt fraudulent and very shameful.

All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.

Without my women friends, I wouldn't know anything. They've been my teachers and my mothers. My mother was a wonderful person, but she didn't give me a lot of the stuff I needed to advance myself as an adult woman. I have a really strong group of girlfriends, and we share a lot with one another - the complications of raising children, marriages, personal and physical struggles.

Life is not supposed to be this calcified experience where you don't change.

Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.

I do as much charity work as I can and that my family life will allow. I do believe charity begins at home and the more we focus on our families, the better they will be.
