What can you do? You're never going to be - I'm sure there are people out there who think Cindy Crawford isn't pretty.

I think when you're doing good work, you don't necessarily need to be validated.

I wear high heels and dresses. I am a total girly girl.

A lot of shows fly under the radar for the first couple seasons and then become successful. It doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the success of the show or how much the network is behind it.

I'd never put all my chips anywhere, because I don't want to close any doors, but I was raised in a very blue-collar family. I was raised by parents who said, 'If you don't go to work every day, you're not contributing', so that's my mentality. I have to work every day; I have to bring home a paycheck.
