I'll admit I'm six feet tall. Now I've noticed the press saying I'm six feet two. I'm growing. In a few years I'll be six-four!

Growing up I always wanted to be athletic, but I was one of those really tall, uncoordinated types. They always wanted me on the basketball team, but I wasn't too good. Track was my thing. I did high jumps and hurdles on the girls' team. But it was hopeless if you were taller than everybody else....I had one date in high school. I lied about my height when I started modeling because, believe it or not, you can be consided too tall. I would wear high heels on job interviews so they wouldn't know my actual height. I said I was 5-foot-10, but I'm actually 6 feet tall.

My height has never gotten in the way of my career because I have been working. But I'm sure there are things I haven't gotten because of my height. But it's been an asset to the things I have gotten. It's been one more interesting thing about the character. We used to do tall jokes on 'Buffalo Bill' and now we do them on 'Sara'.
