For me, family is life. The decision to start one wasn't complex at all. My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work.

When you accept and appreciate yourself you can handle any situation with class, dignity and respect.

I love being outdoors and try to work out outside when I can. I spent most of my childhood outdoors.

I am proud to be a woman. I am sensual, nurturing and compassionate woman. I am a woman of my word and I love who I am.

I guess I'm just an open-hearted, fair, good person. I try to encourage people to be their best and look inside themselves and find out what they are passionate about and expand on that and enjoy life.

Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different.

I'm that person who says, 'No matter what the problem is, there's a solution.' That's the way my brain is wired. If someone says to me, 'Well, that's not possible. It can't happen,' I say, 'Yes it is. I'm going to sit here and show you that it can.'
