I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan and I'm still not.

It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad.

When people compliment my cooking, it's like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it's great to be known for something else.

I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.

Nobody who cooks does it with full hair and makeup in front of a TV camera.

The most important thing I want to get across is that maintaining weight loss is just hard. It takes a dedication to exercise and eating right most of the time. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the days that I'm not eating chocolate cake. But I do particularly like those days when I am eating chocolate cake.

What's meant to be will always find a way.
