I never really cared about what I looked like.

Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle-clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake.

I realize you cant please everyone.

Lots of models have played mermaids throughout history and it is, kind of, a funny rite of passage.

Through my whole career, that's been a major thing - bringing my family with me.

I have taken a break from the media spotlight for the past few years.

I have a very, very creative family.

I got on stage for the first time when I was seven. From seven until I was about nine it was probably more to do with just being on stage and having the attention.

As a model you do play a certain role and you know as an actor you play another role.

As a child, I was a clown. I didn't hesitate to make a fool of myself and I would love to completely take on wacky characters.

I grew up on the beach. It was such a luxury to wake up to the sun and the ocean.

Knowing one day, I will be gone, makes me live fuller life.

I do not have results ... I have an impossible task !!

Nature, so far as in her lies, imitates God.

Climate change is one of the issues I worry most about because its impacts are enormous. But they're gradual, they're not immediate.

Peace is more the product of our day-to-day living than of a spectacular program, intermittently executed.

I always tell myself that it is very, very important for me to be a good role model for Alma, my daughter.

Don't be afraid to step out and trust God. He is more faithful than the rising of the sun.

My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch.

I can't believe some of the things I did.Can't believe it. Sayin' I was the greatest and the beautifulist and I was gonna whup this guy and that guy, sayin' I'm pretty, I can't be beat.

I've been an Obama supporter since he announced he was campaigning. I was aware of him as a senator, but I wasn't as engaged as I probably should've been.
