I don't really work out. I eat a lot of sweets. I have chocolate all over my house.

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!

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

If we wish to know the force of human genius we should read Shakespeare. If we wish to see the insignificance of human learning we may study his commentators.

In human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

A field of glory is a field for all.

A language, like a species, when extinct, never... reappears.

The Transcontinental Railroad Act is the first step in creating a continental common market.

In my mind, there's no logical conclusion that can be drawn, other than that I was fired for my activism.

It is God who enables us to return to life after tragedy-not by eradicating all suffering but by giving us the strength and the courage to heal what we can heal.

Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.

It's nice that there are movies and songs about romance - it's what motivates us as human beings. I'm all for being brainwashed by rom-coms.
