Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.

I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.

To me, what's sexy is when you look like you're having a good time. That, and when you look effortless and have messy hair.

I think it's very hard to find a good friend. That's why I'm so lucky to have two sisters, because they're my best friends, and they have to be with me forever. They're stuck with me.

I can never find the right bras.

I love my curves. You know, I'm healthy and I think thats what Sports Illustrated represents: healthy, confident women who love their bodies.

I'm pretty competitive. I talk a big game - even when I'm going to lose.

You find your strengths and play them up.

I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.

I know I said sometimes I wear clothes but apparently I lied...I'm only packing swimsuits.

I’m actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.

Everyone that you'll ever met wil know someone that you won't

The are things that you might forget, but you might not clearly forget. Time is the only coin you have to buy the things you want to remember, and to pay for the things you want to leave behind.

Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed.

I like to listen to music that fits with what I'm writing. For each book, I've assembled a playlist, so readers can get a sense of what I was listening to while I was writing.

I spent a lot of time in Tower Records. I'm a huge music nerd, and Tower was instrumental to me when I was growing up.

Requesting a change of environment was an extremely difficult decision. After a tremendous amount of reflection and numerous conversations with my family, it made the most sense to seek a change.

I think being funny had something to do with feeling like an outsider, not feeling cool - insecurity.

A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.

Only love has the ability to put you in that state of bliss

This is New York, and there's no law against being annoying.
