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

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

I like being a woman and having a womanly body.

I've always been very bonded to animals - more so than most people. (laughs) I don't think that they can defend themselves, so we have to help them.

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

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