<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Maran was quoted as saying on Jimmy Kimmel Live 12 August 2004: 'I don't believe in marriage. I just don't think it's necessary in this day and age. I just think if you need to get married, then you're already distrusting the person. Why do you have to sign something to show your love? You just love, everyday'.[citation needed] Maran talked about quitting modeling and acting to live on Hawaii and teach children on Jimmy Kimmel Live 24 October 2005. She reported to have also started yoga at Kripalu, eating organic foods, and trying to quit smoking.</span></div>
