Growing up, I was always really shy about my body.

If I'm going to have something rich and yummy, I'm not reaching for prepackaged brownies. I'm going to make a pie from scratch.

I love 'Guitar Hero' because I love music, but I have no musical ability whatsoever. So I love a game that makes you feel like you're a rock star.

Working out is not a luxury, it's a necessity.

I love rock and roll. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong decade because I love Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and... those are my bands.

I'm very shy. I know it's weird for a person who models lingerie and swimsuits, but I don't like to be the center of attention!

Leather is always sexy, and you have to wear leather when you ride a bike. It's more for protection, but it also gets you some style points, I think.

I'm very down-to-earth and approachable, and I can be one of the guys and watch sports... I like to cook - I'm like the girl next door.

I don't starve myself. Anyone who knows me will tell you I have an appetite. I'd much rather work out and not diet than not work out and have to diet.

A story only matters, I suspect, to the extent that the people in the story change.

The wide corridor up the centre of E Block was floored with linoleum the colour of tired old limes, and so what was the Last Mile at other prisons was called the Green Mile at Cold Mountain.

The easiest time to add insult to injury is when you're signing somebody's cast.

I've always as a performer on stage tend to sort of throw myself into the character, whatever I've written about, so it depends on how I'm writing or what I'm writing about.

Always resignation and acceptance. Always prudence and honour and duty. Elinor, where is your heart?

The government ought to stay out of the prayer business.

People read more mysteries than they do political pamphlets.

I admire the world of the books and the characters that she's created, but I'm not an addict of Harry Potter. I don't feel possessive about it.

If you only say one prayer in a day make it Thank You.

He says his aim is poetry. One does not aim at poetry with pistols. At poets, perhaps.
