I don't know what it means to be a sex symbol. When I look myself on a magazine cover I don't see it as me, but as someone painted, fluffed, puffed and done up.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

As women, we do feel like we have to live up to an expectation, whether it's on camera or going to the market or whatever it is. And the truth of the matter is, that's not always the way it is. We don't always have our high heels on, we don't always have our makeup on.

My best hostess tip is to have good food and really good music!

I was born in Sherman Oaks, California.

Being this side of 40 feels like what I should have felt being this side of 25: in my body, in my heart, happy with my life, and OK with whatever bumps in the road present themselves.
