Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really comfortable with my body.

It's hard to go with a trend. As soon as it's out, everyone picks it up. It's important to stay true to yourself. Have fun with fashion instead of letting it dictate.

People always ask me who does my lips. I say my mom did them. They're real.

I really wanted to go to the Olympics, but everyone wanted me to model for them, so I said what the hell, why not!

I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L.A. and choose roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the bills.

I thought, 'If I'm going to die, I'm going to videotape it.' So I got out my little video recorder and was taping goodbyes to my family.
