On how she defines a healthy life: “People think health only has to do with your physical being, but for me, it’s so much more. I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked and it was probably the most unhealthy place I’ve ever been. So it was funny what people would see as ‘healthy.’ In my worst time, people were saying I’ve never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine. And I try to have a healthy outlook. I’m your everlasting, hopeless optimist!”
On her positive attitude:
“I was just born with that. It’s so funny, because I don’t get depressed. Even after my divorce, everybody was like, ‘Wow, you bounced back so quick.’ I was like, ‘I am not letting this take over. Something great is around the corner—I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.’On pressure to keep up with the “beautiful thing.”
“No. I think that’s probably why I make those lists, because it takes a village to build me for the red carpet. It’s an illusion created by stylists, hair, makeup. I don’t put as much effort into it as my team does. But I think people see something beyond that with me, and I love that I’m defined by my charity work. I think that’s what people see when they give me this label of ‘She’s a beautiful person.’
