I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.
I think probably anyone would say, the worst and the hardest things to deal with is when people say things that aren't true. Or that are kind of true but exaggerated.
I love to go get fireworks, even though some of them are illegal.
Dancing is my number one love. That was my first goal as a child. I would love to do stage, maybe do Chicago. I love being in front of an audience. It's so stimulating. I also love to barbecue.
I don't find any presidents all that sexy. They're not very rock'n'roll.
I had to learn how to change my thinking because I can really get caught up in not liking my body. It can turn into obsession and it can be really bad. I think that when that rules your life then you miss the joys of life.
When anything bad happens, my insecurities come flooding out.
I never had my own name on a bathing suit on Baywatch. I was always given one that said Pamela or Yasmine. I earned my own suit, at the end of the season, which I now have framed.
I have wanted to have a baby since I was a teenager, but it frightens me. It is much easier to have a dog.
Honestly, in the beginning, it was really tough. Coming from Cincinnati, Ohio, I was just a girl who had a dream, which was to go to Los Angeles, have a career and to be able to support my family. To have a dream like that and, you know, you're not ready.
There's moments when I think it's kind of silly and I wish I would've just stayed natural
I'm an eight hours kind of sleeper, so I definitely try to schedule that in.
If you are thinking every day, 'I have to get to the gym' and 'I have to lose this weight,' and that's all you think about and you obsess over it, it's not healthy.
I actually lost weight by not obsessing. When I crave something I eat it and then I eat healthily, and I don't go: "Oh, I can't eat." It means I don't want to eat too much because I'm letting myself be comfortable with it. It's really interesting. It has worked for me.
