I'm a girl who enjoys a great meal with great friends, so I'm not really that concerned about weight loss.

For my writing, and because I love talking to young women about life, I often asked them which would they rather have - a father in the house with them while growing up or a big butt? I tell you 86 percent of the time, girls say a big butt because it gets them further.

To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing.

My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.

I'm not interested in being commodified. I'm not into being sold. I'm not a slave.

Beauty is an understanding of what you have, and it's forgiving yourself of what you don't have, and appreciating all of it.

When Jett puts my face in his hands and tells me, 'Mommy you're so pretty' or smells me, it's so wonderful.
