I'm done with 'Biggest Loser.'

People tend to think that metabolism is genetically predetermined. That you're either cursed or you're blessed. And that's not true.

There's a confidence and sense of self that comes with age that I didn't anticipate.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

I never feel more alone than when I'm traveling. Alone and, to some extent, helpless. The world expects a certain level of competence and can be merciless when this expectation is unmet.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
