Regarding one's career: always be prepared, no short cuts - hard work is the only alternative that really works.

I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am - not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.

I play the piano and have been playing since I was 7, mainly classical Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart.

Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.

I like when my man is worldly, know the finer things in life, is well traveled, and educated. It's important to me that he's able to talk to all types of people, from doctors to dishwashers.

I feel accomplished knowing that I'm still the same at heart.

I have my parents to thank for that, they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy, being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.
