Excerpts:
"Do I eat is kind of an understatement. I eat all the time, especially now. I'm constantly hungry. I'm eating at least every hour. Just like any mother, you know, you want to take the best care of yourself, especially while you're pregnant. And I'm definitely eating healthier now, and I'm really playing by the rules."

"I do not drink caffeine at all, cut out sushi. No alcohol ... No marijuana ... No pills ... Nothing ... No smoking around me."
Richie's boyfriend and father of her child, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden, at that point told Sawyer that he had "a tough week" giving up his pack-and-a-half-a-day cigarette habit.
Richie also said, "I'm totally okay" with gaining 40 or 50 lbs. during her pregnancy if "that is what my body needs to do."
Earlier in the interview, Sawyer had confronted Richie with photos that displayed the socialite's skeletal frame, and asked if Richie felt any responsibility for the impression such images might make on little girls in regard to body image.
"I'm really sorry for not accepting that earlier," Richie replied. "It took me a while." As for what Richie sees when she looks at those photos, she said, "I see a girl that is obviously going through something and is much too skinny."
Asked point blank if she has an eating disorder, Richie said, "No, I do not have an eating disorder. I've never had an eating disorder. Ever. ... It's anxiety. It's stress. It's just not being careful."
Was it drug-related? "I think it possibly could have been," said Richie.
Richie also acknowledged Sawyer's observation that the socialite looked close to death, but Richie says she was not.
I think really positive things are in store for Nicole. She is so excited about her baby. She lit up so much when she said, "Yes... I'm pregnant!" It's wonderful. I choose to believe she won't be such a bony ass bitch after her baby is born. I had my doubts, but I really think her and Joel are going to be amazing parents. :)
