Being a student in an art & design school, that was the moment for me, that was when I began to develop a lot of self-confidence and really come into my own.

At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.

Being in the moment is everything. So being in the moment for me is just letting the narrative play out, listening to the designers and giving them helpful feedback about what they're doing.

Go to Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue, I think it's the eighth floor, and it's just a department called 'Woman.' It's rather devastating. You've never seen such hideous clothes in your entire life. I mean, it's simply appalling. Thank God there are no windows on that floor, because if I were a size 18, I'd throw myself right out the window [after seeing those clothes]. It's insulting what these designers do to these women.

I love Modern Family but it's among a handful of favorite shows.

I've made more bad decisions at 3 in the morning than I can list!

Exude unconditional confidence.
