I was never one of those girls who dreamt of Prince Charming. To piss off my mom, I would say, 'I'm never having kids and I'm going to be a fabulously rich old maid with cute butlers and dogs.'

Five, six weeks or two months into the diet and the absolute crazy training regimen is a brutal nightmare sometimes. But in the same breath, that's what is so wonderful about it because it's so structured and your body is changing and you're able to do things that you've never done before. You're stronger than you've ever been before.

Being willing to suffer often brings great rewards.

My mom was [a hippie]. We weren't allowed sugar cereal. We weren't allowed processed foods - except Van de Kamp's fish sticks. We never locked the front door.

Smile… Even when your life is at its worst, you never know when you’ll meet the one who takes your breath away!

I'm not going to give up doing interesting things. I'm going to do it as long as I possibly can and hopefully have longevity in this business.
