My mother is Italian and my dad's Irish. In my family, we're expressive. Nobody holds back.

I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine.

I'm not a clean freak. My house is a mess.

I love cooking but I still always go and sneak a little bit of sides from Boston Market, and it's so good. They're so good.

I loved campaigning for Obama.

I drink tons of water. When you're puffy, you think you can't drink water since you feel more bloated and gross but that's what you do to get the toxins out of your system. I put a little lemon in the water bottle that I carry around with me or drink a cup of hot water with lemon. It's a natural diuretic.

I think for Thanksgiving particularly I've always, one of the fun things for me about doing a big dinner is having friends and family so we've always done that, and even through our other holidays like having a mix of friends and family, and if you don't have your family nearby, or it's tough for you, find a friend and go and eat with them.
