Defintely gymnastics, because I was a gymnast for 11 years. That's my thing. My girlfriend Betty Okino was in the 1992 Olympics and won a bronze medal. She's a gymnast. So I'm a huge fan.
I don't want to be the Hollywood girl... I'm Southern and old-fashioned.

We all have baggage. The question is: What baggage can you deal with?
Everything I did and continue to do happens for a reason, and honestly, I don't regret much in my life.
I used to perform with the Pussycat Dolls before Nicole Scherzinger, before they were a musical group.
Southern people are raised with a work ethic. My son is 5 years old and does chores. My mom was a dance teacher, and the training and discipline it takes to be a dancer I've carried with me in Hollywood.
Anytime someone has said to me, 'You can't do that,' I have answered, 'Watch me.'
As a dancer, I'd dance with broken toes. Just like acting, you compete with yourself and drive forward. That discipline helped in Hollywood.
I've always had an interest in design, and I have always loved creating things.
I used to go around the country performing. I was in my 20s; I had no fear. But then I had a baby, and all of sudden, your life, your world changes; you change.
Some women just skip having babies or adopt because they don't want to get fat or they haven't put in the time to find a partner. It's great to adopt, but a lot of adoptions are motivated by vanity and laziness.
Your core supports your spine and your torso. Everything you do depends on it.
I don't know anybody that has a teenage son or daughter who at some point hasn't been like, 'God, I hate them' just under their breath. It's not meant to be literal. It's funny.
