I will not sell anything ever again that I do not believe in. I'm not willing to do a job for pure financial gain. I've done that, and it wasn't worth it. ”

I was about 15 years old, and I needed a job, and somebody I know - I don't even know who it was - said that there was a television show that needed a presenter and that I should go and audition for it, so I did. That was a show called 'The Word,' and I got that job. ”

My daughter gave me a whole new perspective. ”

I've never interviewed anyone where I set out to try to persuade them to reveal something. Instead, it's about creating a space that allows someone to be authentic without judgment on my part. ”

People know what authentic communication feels like, so having someone else handle your social media/commenting doesn't feel honest to me. ”

I go to the Korean spa when the kids go to bed. It's like I turn my brain off. ”

If there was anyone primed to raise their kids feminist, it was me. My parents treated me no differently from my brother. I was raised to believe I was capable of doing anything I set my mind to. ”

By age 19, I was married to a high-profile, much older musician and was mother to a baby girl. Since then, I've been divorced, been a cheater, been cheated on, gotten happily remarried, and raised a couple of great kids. ”

Freedom is... not to be bound by my wounds. And to be able to eat cake every day. ”

I got sick of being famous. It is not a desirable 'job.' ”
