I started running 3 miles every morning after throat surgery to remove a cyst last year. The gym used to be my adversary. But that has all changed. Now, I look forward to it every morning.

I have a fat head - I get freaked-out looking at pictures of me.

We created a line of pet food called Nutrish that's made to human standards, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to animal rescue. One of our top-tier donors is the ASPCA, and they help us challenge animal shelters all across the country to get more animals placed in homes.

What I've learned is that at the end of the day, we are all human. We all have that in common.

I think that celebrities are just people, like everybody else, and they've got the foodie bug in them too.

I have this extraordinary life during the day, and then I get to come home to my sweet husband who loves to cook with me. I have a nice glass of wine, he has some scotch, we chat, we cook, and we hang out with the dog. I have an absolute dream life.

You can laugh or you can cry. It is up to you which one you do.
