"Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's, Who are you as a person?," she tells the mag. "Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul...When you're dating a man, you should always feel good...You shouldn't be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't make you completely happy and make you feel whole."
