I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that.

I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.

The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow.

I don't have parts of my body that I hate or would like to trade for somebody else's or wish I could surgically adjust into some fantasy version of what they are.

I never had crushes on anybody when I was younger; I really didn't.

I feel like I'm playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I'm playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat.

I will tell you that when I was heavy, people would say to me - and it was such a backhanded compliment - they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face,' in the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable.'
