I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.

Before I had my child, animals were my life. I slept with four dogs in my bed.

I was an illegal immigrant.

If I've been indulging in rich foods, a cleanse is a wonderful way to hit the reset button.

My heart has been stolen too - but I've gone and got it back every single time!

I don't want to be size zero and I'm glad I'm not.

I like being a mother. For some people, it's so much work that it can be a burden. But it's not for me, maybe because I had my daughter, Valentina, later on in life, at 41.
