There is no time you should shut the doors, as there is always love out there for you.

Practising maths can be fun.

I was used to Essex boys growing up. Russian boys are a lot more gentlemanly and thoughtful. They will express their emotions a bit more.

I think we've come a long way with women's rights, but we've got a long way to go.

I enjoy things that are relevant to me, like maths and science and 'Countdown,' and I don't want to offend our viewers.

I've had inquiries for things like TV show 'Splash,' where people go out in front of the whole nation in a bikini. But I think bikinis are just for the beach.

I don't think you need to get married necessarily. Girls just assume they will get married and have babies, but that isn't the right thing for everyone.

I'm real and honest, and I take things day by day. That's just the way to survive.

Some people can't handle that I'm direct.

Legends of the Fall' is one of my favorite movies.

Losing a loved one is never easy.

Pop culture does not frequently depict women of color realizing their happy ending.

My dad is very supportive about me being the Bachelorette. He realizes what an amazing experience it is.

I know there are going to be people who criticize what I do no matter what, but I'm just trying to not get caught up in it.

Well, I was a huge 'Matlock' fan as a child.

I'm a trial attorney and I specialize in defense civil litigation. My firm represents businesses and organizations in whatever aspect they get sued, whether it's commercial litigation, to personal injury, liability, contracts, we litigate for them on their behalf.

Football, basketball, and track are my favorites, but I really enjoy watching all sports.

As the first of anything, you're going to be judged. If you accept the good, you have to accept the bad.

Especially as a woman, the jury sums you up immediately and is listening to everything you're saying. You have to be on your game all the time, and that prepares you for being in front of the camera. The difference is, when I am in front of a jury, I am not talking about my emotions and my life.

I am a never-say-never person.

For 'The Bachelor,' I went through the entire process and was told I was chosen, and then I told my boss... It turned out that my boss was a huge fan of the show, and he was ecstatic. My promise to my firm was that I would do the filming then go back to work, and I did.

I want four kids.

I love a challenge. I do.

I like a confident man.
