I am an actress, a producer, a philanthropist, a wife, and above all a mommy to my beautiful babies, Leonardo and Valentino.

I'm petrified of bees because I have an anaphylactic reaction to bees.

I'm working with UNESCO on a project called 'Thirst,' which educates children all over China and promotes awareness to the fact that 300 million people in China do not have access to water.

I do an international beauty pageant called Queen of the Universe for UNESCO, and what we do is we build kindergartens around the world.

Some people would rather have a lie that makes them smile than a truth that makes them cry. I'm the opposite; I'd rather have people make me cry with the truth than try to make me smile.

My one main secret I did right after my pageants days, is I only wash my hair once a week. I tell everyone, 'You have to stop washing your hair so much!'

Pageants were a platform for me, and they helped me get to where I am today. You suddenly stop being just another girl, and people want to listen to what you have to say.

I must be very clear in one thing... Being a pageant girl is not who I am or what defines me.

I'm a happily declared chocoholic. I keep it everywhere, even my nightstand.

In the entirety of my life, I have never had an eating disorder.

Oh, I am such a little piggy. Everyone is always mad at me because I eat so much. They're like, 'How are you so skinny?' I eat more than my husband!

If you Never Give Up, you can Beat The Best !!

Blessed be childhood which brings down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness.

The gain is not the having of children it is the discovery of love and how to be loving.

If I had to give one piece of advice to incoming college freshmen, I'd say always be true to yourself.

Pursuit and possession are accompanied by states of consciousness so wide apart that they can never be united.

Age whitens hairs, but not sin.

The only dream I ever had was the dream of New York itself, and for me, from the minute I touched down in this city, that was enough. It became the best teacher I ever had.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Dubai will never settle for anything less than first place.

President Reagan was concerned - deeply concerned, emotionally concerned - with the loss of life of any American, but especially with the lives of military soldiers, Marines, navy.
