How do I cope with stress? I clean and organize.

My audience knows me, and I wear beautiful clothes as a badge of honor. They remember where I came from.

The issue I have always felt most strongly about is hunger in America, in particular the children.

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

Why I have had such a huge career and why I have sold over four million books, is that people can do what I share with them to do.

My most cherished possessions are my grandma's letters and my vintage Martha Washington cookbook.

When I'm really stressed out, I go to church. I light candles and sit and pray. And I'll ask myself, What's the lesson? Why am I going through this? There's got to be a reason I'm here. What am I supposed to learn?
