As I grew older and the dance became more competitive and more disciplined, that's when I started to realize that I'm an athlete.

Whether there's music, there's not music, it's an appropriate time to dance or not, I'm dancing.

In my day-to-day, I don't wear a lot of makeup, but if I have a lot on from a red carpeted event, I'll use a regular makeup wipe to remove it. Then I use a gentle foaming cleanser, which really gets down into the skin rather than just helping remove the makeup.

My number one tip is if you do not need to wear makeup for something, don't.

I never travel wearing makeup.

I have a love for anything gold.

I want to model and I want to do whatever it takes to be a 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit model.

If you're not happy with something, take positive steps.

I'm on the road a lot, so I'm always carrying resistance bands with me. I use them in hotels and even on Uber rides or on the plane.

I've been told no a thousand times and 'Model Search' gave me the opportunity to be seen, to be heard.

I love eating clean. Like for lunch, I'll have a wrap with hummus, avocado, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers with a little bit of olive oil and pink Himalayan salt.

I don't believe in crash dieting.

I feel most confident when I am in a dance studio alone.

Being bikini-ready for me is wherever I am at.

Going to the spa is the ultimate way to unwind, but unfortunately with such a busy schedule, I'm not able to always get to there.

Pairing jeans with a stiletto and a body suit is my go-to that makes me feel my sexiest.

I like to meditate, take baths at home with essential oils and salts and write in a journal.

Accepting all that you are will lead you to live your best life and will allow you to be free and your true authentic self.

It's really easy to want to just sleep all day.

Write down your fears. Write down your thoughts. Write down the feelings you want to have. Just release it, don't ignore it. It's a lot easier said than done, but once you start practicing some of those things, you'll realize that you have a lot more control over your thoughts, your feelings.

Being still may sound a little crazy to some, but I really encourage people to simply listen to your own breath and unclog all those thoughts running through your mind. It's important to take a step back.

Even if you're meditating, practicing yoga, reading a book, or taking a bath - It's so important for our wellbeing to just take some time away from social media.

It's OK to feel good about yourself because it's not doing any good for anybody else to be fearful or spread anxiety.

I'm all about being open with how you feel. But I don't believe in feeding into fear. I think that's what keeps me going and feeling hopeful.

I think the greatest thing about partnering with the Arthritis Foundation is the fact that we're raising awareness. I actually called my mom and said, 'I've heard the word 'arthritis' every once in a while come out of your mouth. Do you have arthritis?' And she said, 'Yes, I have knee pain, joint pain and in my hands... I have arthritis.'

I love to work my glutes and triceps and use a lot of free weights.

I have never been one to count calories. I have a lot of friends in the fitness industry and understand girls who do crack down on diets, but I am not like that.

I crave clean food, but do have an occasional chocolate bar or ice cream.

When I am sitting in a movie theater with my girlfriends or boyfriend, I think how cool would it be to watch a movie with me in it.

I like hanging out with retired Gronk cause we get a lot more time together, but I miss going to the games, and dressing up, and suitin' up, and cheering him on.

I decided to turn in my pompoms and focus on modeling.

You're not going to see me ever be partisan. I'll never take a position on a candidate or an issue.

When you have Candidate A saying the sky is blue, and Candidate B saying it's a cloudy day, I look outside and I see, well, it's a cloudy day. I should be able to tell my viewers, 'Candidate A is wrong, Candidate B is right,' and not have to say, 'Well, you decide.' Then it would be like I'm an idiot.

I'm a mom, and my view of public education begins and ends with the fundamental question: Is this good for children?

In a situation where it's the child or the adult, I'm going with the child.

There's no reason why anyone's job should become untouchable for the rest of their life.

I'm interested in full disclosure for people who give money to politicians. But I'm not a politician. I'm an advocate.

I've covered the White House and been yelled at by presidents.

My mom was very much the product of a very paternalistic, deep-southern culture, but also a repressed feminist. Her way of being defiant was to raise us to be rebellious ourselves - basically, the opposite of who she had to be in her own life.

My second-grade teacher went around the class and asked everybody what they were going to be when they grew up. I said, 'I want to travel the world,' and he said, 'You'll be married and pregnant by 21, just like all the girls in this room.'

Someone once told me I looked good in red, so I bought every piece of clothing in red and bright-red lipstick. I had huge hair, as big as I could tease it and spray it.

My friends in the TV news business are in a state of despair about Donald Trump, even as their bosses in the boardroom are giddy over what he's doing for their once sagging ratings.

Trump doesn't force the networks to show his rallies live rather than do real reporting. Nor does he force anyone to accept his phone calls rather than demand that he do a face-to-face interview that would be a greater risk for him.

TV news has largely given Trump editorial control.

It's understood in the newsroom: Air the Trump rallies live and uninterrupted. He may say something crazy; he often does, and it's always great television.

Experience is a legitimate issue when John McCain raises it about Obama, and it's also legitimate for us to raise it about Palin.

I was not so interested in night-after-night coverage of Michael Jackson's death or Britney Spears' latest breakdown - topics that were 'breaking news' at the time.

This must be such a relief for the TV executives managing a business in decline, suffering from a thousand cuts from social media and other new platforms. Trump arrived on the scene as a kind of manna from hell.

The 800-pound gorillas of TV news are gone. When I was the White House correspondent at NBC, and Tom Brokaw was anchor, the reporters were protected.

Early on, even before he was the front-runner, TV news was giving Trump far more attention than other candidates and far more than he deserved.
