I interviewed Kim Kardashian once before, for a story in Glamour magazine. This time, I spoke with her for the cover of Marie Claire Australia, and she was just as sweet as ever.

The one thing I continue to notice and appreciate about Kim? She’s able to put a positive twist on everything. When she’s talking about someone else, she focuses on the good parts; and when she’s talking about her own life, she flips the tough moments into great life lessons—much like I write about in my upcoming book Bright Side Up (Perigee, 2012).

Read my new Marie Claire interview with Kim Kardashian and see if you can pick up some of her optimism for yourself!
