I always knew I wanted to have children. When I met my husband, Rande, I thought, 'This is the guy.' When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

Having children really changes your priorities.

Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.

I always knew I wanted to have children.

It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.

You don't have to do the picture, you have to do the autograph, but it's important to take that moment to make a human connection.

It's important for moms to have alone time. However, that's the first thing that goes on a busy day. Fortunately for me, because of my job, I have to find the time to do it. At least that's the way my mind sees it.

I'm not a fan of fillers at all. If you've gone 35 or 40 years without big lips, I don't think it's time to start plumping them up artificially.

I don't want to have to be beautiful all the time. I want to be able to look cruddy in my weekend sweats, with a pimple on my face and pimple cream on top of the pimple. The expectation to always be beautiful bothers me.

The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.

Not that I believe you can have it all: I believe you can have it all, just not at the same time.

Twitter is just like posting old-fashioned press releases, and it can be very effective in promoting your business interests and charity work.
