Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.

I do believe that men can be emasculated by successful women. I don't think I'm emasculating. But I have seen the dynamic with men who either don't make money or make less money. It's just not good for them.

Parents do the best they can. But my parents are better grandparents than they were parents.

I think I'm a kind of a person who works hard at whatever I do, literally from being a waitress to being on television. I always try to give 110 percent to whatever it is I'm doing.

My daughter has probably gotten some benefit of being inspired by a woman who is willing to take on things. We travel. We travel to exotic places. I'm the first person to jump in the ocean with a whale. Even if I'm scared, I'll do it anyway, because I never wanted her to see fear, especially when she was younger.

What's good about talking about being victimized is that it is the beginning of being able to stop it.

I don't want to be alone my whole life. It is much more fun to share what you have than to have it to yourself. And it isn't like I don't have love in my life. I have a lot of friends who love me and who I love.

I love clothes that, when you put them on, you feel like you. I don't care whether anyone else likes them.

I feel like I'm too old to just have sex. I mean, I want to have sex, but with somebody who really loves me.

I have been really fortunate to have some great experiences in my life, and I look forward to more, and I would really like to have someone special to share those with.

Changing what you don't like about yourself can be empowering, and that's not a bad thing. Feeling secure enough to own what is weak and missing from either your body, mind or spirit and to commit to action to change it is a good thing.

I'm a firm believer in putting your money where your mouth is.
