People came to my parents' parties because they were going to have fun and, if lucky, our mother would belly dance. What they didn't know was that the hostess made sure every morsel placed in front of them was pure and without anything artificial, no matter what the cost.

I've lived next door to people all my life. I don't know how cute they think I am.

I hated my whole childhood, hated it, hated it, hated it. There was no place for me.

I've always been very skeptical about marriage, because I only want to do it once; I want to do it the right way.

I don’t think there’s ever what could be called a "chilled state" in my head.

Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.

I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.
