When I go home to Santa Cruz, I'm the same girl as when I grew up.

If I'm going to have something rich and yummy, I'm not reaching for prepackaged brownies. I'm going to make a pie from scratch.

I love 'Guitar Hero' because I love music, but I have no musical ability whatsoever. So I love a game that makes you feel like you're a rock star.

Working out is not a luxury, it's a necessity.

I love rock and roll. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong decade because I love Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and... those are my bands.

I'm very shy. I know it's weird for a person who models lingerie and swimsuits, but I don't like to be the center of attention!

Leather is always sexy, and you have to wear leather when you ride a bike. It's more for protection, but it also gets you some style points, I think.

I'm very down-to-earth and approachable, and I can be one of the guys and watch sports... I like to cook - I'm like the girl next door.

I don't starve myself. Anyone who knows me will tell you I have an appetite. I'd much rather work out and not diet than not work out and have to diet.

I'm from Santa Cruz in Northern California, and the 49ers were my dad and I's bonding time.

Everyone in my family is a nurse except me.

When the watermelons were as large as a child's head, the women boiled them, but they collapsed into a tasteless green mush that no one could eat, not the children, not the cow.

Technology teaches passivity. Absorbed in our devices - at any age - we are absorbed in someone else's perspective.

When you teach her that hoe mentality, they accept that as reality.

The world was new each day for God so made it daily. Yet it contained within it all the evils as before, no more, no less.

Those whom the world has delighted to honor have oftener been influenced in their doings by ambition and vanity than by patriotism.

He who blushes is already guilty.

Are women necessary? Not with Ava around

In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.

When it came to the on-camera TV stuff, I'd be standing next to the director, my friend, and he'd be asked a question that I should have been answering.

Family life is a bit like a runny peach pie - not perfect but who's complaining?
