I don't get bothered about statistics. If somebody had pointed out to me the odds of my being a working actress getting paid for what she does, I probably would have quit early in the game.

Did you know that, if you visualise, you can actually hug on the phone?

I think, head up and shoulders back. Not only does it make you look taller and thinner but it gives you confidence and boosts your self-esteem.

I like men to be men and I like them to care about me and to take care of me. I'm willing to let them do that.

I'm not perfect, but I'd like to be perfect. I'm working on it.
