We seem okay with violence, but nudity we race to criticize and censor.
Rejection is good for the soul.
It's tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I do not even know I'm reaping them. It's a more overall kinda thing.
You can't do sweatpants... ladies, number one cause of divorce in America, sweatpants, no!
I also have an amazing codesigner and an amazing partnership with New York & Co. The exciting part of growing together and having this kind of long-term relationship is that they can anticipate where I'm going with something. So our relationship is very defined, it's a true partnership so I'm not doing it all by myself.
I love my curves and I embrace them.
I don't cook. I respect food too much.
I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.
I love constructive criticism.
A shimmery bronzer is the perfect way to look alive. If you don't want to wear makeup, mix some with moisturizer. You'll look pretty but not made-up.
I don't like my men to be too ornate. I like them to stand back and let their women shine, and they should really wear the pants in the relationship.

People are incapable of stereotyping you; you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype
