If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.
