Before, I would play a little hoops, a little tennis. Now it's more yoga, Pilates, stretching, some light weight work, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance things. When I used to live on the eleventh floor, I would take the steps. I don't do that so much now. I'm taking the elevator a bit more these days.

At one point, we were all fearful. But as you get older, it's the things you don't do that you regret, more so than the things you do. When fear knocks, answer.

My mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'

As I like to say, take the shot, even if your knees are shaking.

The combination of landing the biggest interview of my career and having a drill in my back reminds me that God only gives us what we can handle and that it helps to have a good sense of humor when we run smack into the absurdity of life.

Life provides losses and heartbreak for all of us-but the greatest tragedy is to have the experience and miss the meaning.

When fear knocks, to let faith answer the door.
