Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing.

For me, being memorable is more important than winning.

If I had been on 'Bowling for Dollars,' I'd wind up owing them money.

I do not want to die being known for doing baby mama DNA tests on my show.

It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say.

Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.

Being fat worked, and I think that was what was confusing for me for a long time in my career.

For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.

I am not a natural dancer.

I am wearing a size 28 Paige Jeans. Jeans don't lie, and I am just happy!

I can't even plan tomorrow.

I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!

I never set out to be a role model for large women, I just do what I feel is right.

I want to spark ideas and conversations and inspire people to take active roles in their communities, relationships and their well-being.

It's inspiring, I think, for women out there to see I'm a regular person. I am the every woman who's struggled with my weight.

My body holds on to every part of every, you know, calorie that there is out there.

What's the difference between tough love and acting like a jerk?

I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.

I was this role model for heavy people. But the thing is, I never set out to be a role model at all, and I don't set out to be one now. I won't preach to anyone and tell them how to lose weight. I don't know any better than the next person.
