My husband and I are building a 'green' house in Santa Ynez Valley. We bought 15 acres and we're going to build a house that's green from the ground up.

I don't believe in depriving yourself of things you want.

My mom really instilled in me that I'm beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls.

I got a fur shawl once. I was so disgusted! And I couldn't re-gift it. I don't know anyone who'd want fur.

My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets: Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet.

I don't think there's a hobby that I haven't tried on.

My dad's passion was to teach adults to read so they could read to their kids.
