I try to run every time I'm in a new city or country - you just put your shoes on and go. It's very therapeutic, and it also works for me when I want to lose weight.
Staying in shape does not come easily, especially as you get older and you don't have as much time or energy to exercise. I used to be naturally skinny in high school and college. I was in cheerleading, ran track, and did gymnastics, so I had a built-in five-hour workout every day. Lately, I've been doing Pilates on the Megaformer, which is like Pilates on steroids.
I wasn't going to let a little thing like a hurricane keep me from wearing my bathing suit.
I'm not averse to being tied up in silk scarves. I like a man to take charge. There's something very sexy about being submissive.
I'm super careful with my skin and make sure to protect it. I always sit under an umbrella. And I'm a sunblock bully. If you're on the beach with me, I will spray you down with SPF 50-plus.
I am so secure in who I am. I really am! And I'm not conceited. I just think, 'Wow, okay, that's the life you want to live.' It wasn't about who he chose. I mean, I had moments, 'Am I not sexy enough? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough?' But in so many of those questions, I immediately stopped and said, 'No, don't start doing that.' Because you can get stuck in that cycle and you can carry on to other things.
I believe, as they say, that you can't be what you don't see, and since I saw a lot of smart women in my life, education being at the center, I just mimicked that behavior.
Politics need to stop treating women as a special-interest group.
You never date someone's ex-boyfriend. Period. That's not even the unspoken rule - that's the spoken rule.
I'm not a fan of capris. They actually shorten my legs.
I think sometimes women are stuck in a type. I've never dated the same type. I fall in love with personalities, and they come in different packages.
Marriage is a commitment, so you always have to work at it.
If I were single and had my career, I'd be happy. You have to be happy with what you're doing.
I banned bottled water from my house - we have a water-filter system so you can drink from the tap. We always drink out of glass, and recycling is a huge deal, which everybody can partake in.
