mother father eight
My grandmother used to cook for eight every day - sitting down lunches and dinner, the way you do it in Italy, you sit down. And when my parents could afford their own place, I went with them but still my mother used to work but used to come back from work to cook lunch for my father, come back from work, cook dinner for my father and me.
cookies fruit lucky
I'm very lucky because I love fruit and to this day, that has saved me because I'd much rather have fruit than cookies.
animal made feels
I've really become super active in rescuing animals, and it has made my life feel so much better. I can't even express to you how happy it has made me.
voice vulnerable said
Somehow when I express my voice, I feel that much more vulnerable. For instance, if I used the wrong word, or if I said something and somebody could take the word and misinterpret it.
dream fate night
Often, I dream about work. For instance, the night before the Oscars, I dreamt about the Oscars and I dreamt about who I wanted to interview. Interestingly, one of the people I really wanted to interview was Keanu Reeves, and then we got him. We had never interviewed him before, so that was lucky. Or maybe it was fate - I don't know.
school therapists going-back-to-school
I'm considering going back to school to become a registered dance therapist.
body
I've never been supercritical about my body.
winter animal giving
One of the best gifts you can give to an animal is a donation of a blanket to your local animal shelter during the winter months.
stars couple years
During the first couple of years of 'Dancing with the Stars,' I would go to Jack in the Box in my ball gown after the shows and get the Taco Nachos with cheese as my reward.
senior mom friday
I do a one-hour workout called Drenched, a cardio-boxing fitness routine, Monday through Friday. There are usually between twenty-five and fifty people there - everyone from stay-at-home moms and professional martial artists to teenagers and seniors. They play great dance music. When I can, I take two classes back-to-back.
children want
I really do want to have a child.
beautiful baby teacher
I wasn't a ballet baby. My first dance class was in an outdoor pavilion when I was three. It was called 'creative movement.' The teacher gave us chiffon scarves in beautiful colors. She turned on some music and said, 'Now go dance.' So for me, dance has always been about self-expression.
fun thinking vegetables
I love fresh fruit and vegetables. I'm not a strict dieter. I don't think that anything in life should be so regimented that you're not having fun or can't enjoy like everybody else. Just know that fresh food is always going to be better for you.
dancing people backgrounds
I come from a dancing background, and I know it's stereotypical, but I would dance because I wasn't comfortable speaking to people.
