Regarding one’s career: always be prepared, no short cuts – hard work is the only alternative that really works.
Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Period. No exceptions.
It’s not being superficial, but looks do attract me from across the gym.
I have a quiet and an artistic side that many people don’t know of.
Business wise, I have always learned valuable lessons so I don’t regret any decisions I have made.
They both go together; you can’t be in front of the camera hosting a fitness television show in front of 75 million households and not have trained 6 days per week year round – in a bikini no less.
I’m still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am – not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.
I am a control freak. I want to do what I want to do.
I am a goal setter and I set more goals everyday. I keep lists of goals in my office to stay on track.
I also love to surf the Net and talk on the phone with friends.
I also paint and enjoy acrylic medium; some of my close friends have paintings I did for them.
I play the piano and have been playing since I was 7, mainly classical Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart.
You are right that I don’t have a lot of spare time because I love to stay busy and keep my calendar full.
Our viewers are very educated, they can tell if I train or not.
Just kidding, I’ve been very athletic all my life.
I feel accomplished knowing that I’m still the same at heart.
For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.
More Asians need to be on television as a positive role model.
One day I would like to have my own art show.
I appreciate life, talk a lot, love to laugh, and am very optimistic.
Money doesn’t buy class.
