I have a son and a daughter; I try to teach them equally about balance, gender, and gender equity.

My family knows they are loved. As a mother, it is my job to let them know that they are, and it's a job I take quite seriously.

Modeling is a profession where your worth is tied up with looks.

Health is your greatest wealth, so experiencing a marathon and seeing what you're capable of is really special.

I have had a fascination with death, I think, that might be considered genetic for a long time. My father had the same affliction, I guess.

Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'.

At some major events - your birth and death, for example - while you may be the center of attention, the events are managed by others and are more important to the people around you.

The first memory I have in the world is of death and tears. That is how I would mark the beginning of my life: the way people mark the end of one. My family had gathered at Papa Joe's house because Mam' Grace was slipping away, only I didn't register it that way. For some reason I thought that it was her birthday.
