Web-Extra Interview

Q&A with Molly Sims

My pet peeve is the people who take over the middle armrest.
I agree. We can work together. I can have it for two hours and you can have it for two hours. Or, another one, don't ask someone to switch seats when you're in a middle seat. It's never going to happen. Or, you know when you're getting off the plane and they run you over trying to get ahead of you? If the row in front of you has not gone, you cannot go. I mean, where are you going? Just wait.

I'm told that you remind yourself to stay humble because you can wake up and everything can be gone.
You have to be happy with what you have. When I travel to remote places these people are happy. So much of our lives are spent wanting and wanting instead of being. We come into this world with nothing and we go out of it with nothing. I love my life. I get to wake up every morning and get to act and travel and meet people and do what I want to do. But if it all went away, I would be OK. My success didn't happen overnight. I had to work for it. I still worry, I still get nervous. It's not that I don't take it as seriously, but I look at it from a different perspective. I have never treated an assistant any different than I treated the president of a company. If you do that in front of me, or you're cheap -- those are my pet peeves.

You're a yoga buff. Could it help my golf game?
Yoga is great for golf because it's mental and stretches your body. You can get stiff from a travel aspect. Sitting on those planes, not stretching properly. If you walk a course you can also get stiff sometimes.

I read you were interested in being a lawyer. Do you win most of your arguments?
I do. But I also listen.

Any thoughts on how this election will shake out?
I'm an Obama fan. If Clinton got it, I'd vote McCain. I do like McCain, but I just want something different. We had the Clintons, and that was great, but we need change. So what if Obama's young? I like his attitude, he's a leader, I'm pro choice, I'm pro gay, I'm pro women's rights. I don't mind paying taxes -- my business manager might die when he hears me say that.

You were a Victoria's Secret model. What is the Secret?
It's her secret.

You're not in the loop? You don't know the Secret?
I'm in on the Secret. I just can't tell you what it is.

I can't believe you were never on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Maybe I could arrange for you to be on the cover of Golf Digest.
Done! I missed my boat with Sports Illustrated but it's OK.
