I grew up on antibiotics. Every ailment - sore throats, earaches, flus - warranted a trip to the doctor and in most cases some kind of prescription.

Exposing any subject that is unpleasant or controversial means risking judgment and making some people feel uncomfortable.

In the past, I often found that when I reached out for a fast cure it led me down a slippery slope of more medications, hopeful dependence on the next prescription and ultimately a much longer drawn-out illness.

I did some great work with my Calvin Klein ads on the motorcycle. It was really groundbreaking because people hadn't seen a woman actually riding a motorcycle before.

I've learned to surround myself with women who lift me up and leave me feeling nurtured rather than drained.

My sore throats are always worse than anyone's.
