I am interested in people. I'm interested in telling stories, whether that is behind the camera or in front of the camera.

Freedom is... not to be bound by my wounds. And to be able to eat cake every day.

Understanding money is part of being independent. You can't be self-sufficient if you're relying on someone else.

Spirituality is an anchor for me and guides me through life.

People reacted to how I looked, and that was certainly a power to have as a young girl, but not one that you really understand.

I don't raise my daughter differently than her twin brother, to the point where she only wanted to wear his clothes - sweatpants, baggy T-shirts, and high-tops - for a year straight. She claims it's because she needs to be 'comfortable and functional,' and who can blame her? I would wear a tracksuit seven out of seven days if I could.

I went from being able to walk down the street and be ignored to having men whistle at me. I was an insecure young girl, and it felt good to have attention, even though it was inappropriate.

With the combination of spending a fair amount of time on planes, having twins that go to elementary school, and generally living a lifestyle that is pretty high-stress, I have been known to run myself down quite easily, so I am pretty much a petri dish for germs, colds, and flus.

I tend to side with people who are considered the underdog. I have empathy.

I've often contemplated some kind of tummy tuck surgery, but I know this is not the answer.

If I could wave a magic wand, I would be a size 6 and still be able to eat cake every day.

I was about 15 years old, and I needed a job, and somebody I know - I don't even know who it was - said that there was a television show that needed a presenter and that I should go and audition for it, so I did. That was a show called 'The Word,' and I got that job.

The most beautiful girl in the room not only gets the guy, she lands the job, gets better service at a restaurant, rises through the social ranks before her friends. Doors open for the beautiful woman that may not for a female who is twice as smart but half as beautiful.

I love photography - I fell in love with photography, I think, because it was my own thing, it wasn't something I needed other people's permission to do. So, it was really freeing for me actually to be able to not be a famous person and just to take pictures.

I've wanted to interview Hillary Clinton since I was 15 years old.

When I was interviewing Hillary Clinton, I knew when I'd ask her something that she wasn't going to give me the complete truth because she would break eye contact with me.

The power that you have as a young woman, unless you have great self-esteem, is largely based on how the rest of the world reacts to you. And so it's kind of a superficial confidence that you have, you know?
