Everyone expects me to be 9 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds [when they meet me].

You can have 100 people tell you how beautiful you look, and one person will say, "God, did you sleep last night?" Not even "You're ugly," but "Did you sleep?" and you're all of a sudden like, "What?!" And the whole day that's what you'll remember.

To be able to design for the plus-sized consumer, for me, that's just beyond. It's a dream.

A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.

It's easier to date a football player for sure. Football players have one game a week, and they practice every day, but they're all at home. In basketball, they're on the road all the time.

If I'm cooking dinner for my hubby or designing a line or selling on QVC, I try to do it in an authentic way. To speak to people like I want to be spoken to, to be a voice for people who don't have one and to give them things they need and love.

I like to do designs on the side of my face, or cut out foil stickers from the crafts store and put them on my forehead.
