We all want love and to feel safe, wanted, cared for, to like our selves, our bodies, to have families and feel okay in the world.

I was a workaholic, I had food issues, and I had body issues. I was in a lot of pain. My parents didn't recognise what was going on.

My daughter gave me a whole new perspective.

I got sick of being famous. It is not a desirable 'job.'

At age 14, you are just beginning to work out who you think you are, and being famous is a huge distortion of reality, and it's not healthy for a young person to be considered more special than their peers. So, I would say it hindered my self-esteem but in later years gave me a great perspective that I wouldn't have if I hadn't experienced that.

I grew up in front of the camera from an early age. It distorts your perception of who you are. Having a lot of attention at a young age is not healthy.

I'm passionate about women's issues, and there are no outlets for that on TV, so I wanted to create one.

Men are hugely significant to me and to many of the women I interview.

I could do a show with men; I'd love to do that, but it's women that I know and understand.

I'd like to interview Rita Ora - I think she's really cool.

I go to the Korean spa when the kids go to bed. It's like I turn my brain off.

You can lose who you are so easily when you're being so many things to so many different people.

You never know how your kids are going to turn out. You can raise them with all the best intentions, and then they're own people, and they have their own inner conflicts. You just hope you've given them some good stuff to navigate with.

I have autoimmune disease, thyroid problems, and I've been diagnosed pre-diabetic.

I've built 'The Conversation' from the ground up with no business training.

Life is going to happen to you no matter what weight you are, no matter how famous you are, no matter how much money you have in the bank. No one gets a free pass.

I've photographed a lot of my good girlfriends, and it's given me a lot of anxiety because I don't want to let them down.

As women, we're trying to be the best mothers and partners and have careers. We're trying to do so much. It's okay to say to other women, 'How do you do this?' Because I honestly don't know. The more we are honest, the more you realize we're all just trying to figure this out.

When young people implode, we judge them rather than saying they need help.
