I was a bit of a tomboy when I started modeling. And I've always felt athletic and strong.

I never weigh myself. That's the best advice I can give - never step on a scale. You know if you're being healthy, if you're exercising. You don't need to be undermined by some crazy number.

I always try to slip healthy things by my kids. I give them sweet potato French fries and fake chicken nuggets.

I'm not a chef. I haven't created any new technique in the kitchen. I'm not a rocket scientist. I think I'm good at writing accessible, fun, and affordable meals for the average American family. That's what I think I'm good at.

My family went Intellivision instead of Atari. I would go over to my friends' houses to play their Ataris and was so jealous of that. I don't remember them ever being jealous that I had the Intellivision.

As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.

Family transcends the flesh. You don't love someone because they look like you, you love their spirit; it's the soul connection.
