Our mother was very strong.

I not only want to make sure I keep my children healthy, but I need to be healthy to be here for them.

Raising money for research and for those suffering with cancer who can't afford treatment is very important to me.

I am a girl's girl all the way, always have been.

My husband does love women. He has four daughters, a sister, a mother he is very close to, and loves to hang out with my friends and me. Never is he inappropriate in any way, shape, or form.

I have so many amazing friends in my life that I am so grateful for.

Just like I tell my daughters, first impressions are important, so once it's out there, whether it's a picture or a TV show, it's there; it's gonna be out there forever.

I've learned that whether it's with your skin or your hair, less is more. People go and do so much to it, I don't think that's good. Too much product is not good, so I think that's probably the best thing. And not the most expensive thing is the best thing. That's for sure. I've learned that the hard way.

I think that being on a reality show is difficult. We're expected to be honest, and especially since we are honest, it creates issues sometimes in relationships.

Growing up as a child actress, I was tutored on movie and TV sets.

I had always wanted to go to college but found my life taking a different path.

As a mother and someone who has lost so many family members to cancer, it is important to me to bring awareness to such important causes.

You do see some outrageous things and people in Beverly Hills. I'm not always quite sure what to make of it.

I do have a lot of fire in me and could use some lessons on how to handle things more calmly.

I am an honest person.

Anyone that knows me knows I love to joke around and have fun.

I know from experience, once something is said on camera, true or false, it follows you forever.

I am not premeditated in what I am going to say. That means there will be times I regret saying certain things.

I have done Botox before. I just don't love doing it. It gives me so much anxiety!

I always love going to Vegas.

When adopting a dog, you have to find the right match for your family.

I love my dogs so much, but my children's safety will always come first. Period. End of story.

I don't do well with my children leaving the nest.

I am very sensitive and get emotional.

While being late in L.A. is common because of traffic, more than 20 minutes is too much.

I, like many people, have had bumps in the road when it comes to family. Family dynamics are complicated and weigh heavily on me.

I have to say that I am embarrassed about how emotional I am.

My parents moved to Los Angeles before I was born and built a beautiful home here in Bel Air.

I said that in Beverly Hills, a woman going out to a party without makeup on is shocking. I was referring to women in Beverly Hills in general.

I take my role of being an aunt seriously and have attended every important event/milestone in all my nieces' and nephews' lives.

I think Lisa Rinna is perfect for QVC. She enjoys it and makes it seems easy, which it is not. That is why she is successful at it.

Regarding my attire, I choose whatever I feel is most flattering at the time. That can be jeans dressed up to a nice dinner or a dress at home for a casual night. In other words, thin days and chubby days are what determines what I wear.

Anyone that knows me knows that I get over things quickly and usually forget about it as well. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes not so much.

I don't feel the need to share the truth with people that I don't know.

I love when I throw a party and people get into it and and make an effort.

Our pets are a part of our family.

I think any parent can imagine how difficult it would be to watch your child suffer.

The 'Housewives' has helped me find my voice. I was always a people-pleaser, and coming into a show like this, you end up losing that.

You always have to stand up for yourself.

My life is like one little Calgon 'take me away' moment.

I love acting. It's what I've done all my life, and to me, it's a lot easier than doing reality television because you get into a character, you remember your lines, and you go home and leave it all behind at the end of the day.

Reality television - it's your life, and you can't walk away from it. You're being exposed, and the audience is weighing in on your lives and your relationships with your friends and family.

I always seem to love the shows with cops. I really want to play a cop - I want a badge and a gun. I'd love to do a guest spot on 'Breaking Bad' or 'Castle.' I think 'Once Upon a Time' is a great time. Fun stuff. I like to have fun with characters.

On the first season of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' I was constantly uncomfortable with my eyes. It became annoying filming the show and having to turn away every few seconds and put drops in my eye.

Shabbat dinner is something that we do once a month.

I do believe in bad energy and not wanting to be around negativity.

I know when my parents passed away, I wanted all the support I could get.

For me, I will defend what's right - not who I am speaking with at the time or who I think will back me.

I can always forgive and forget if I care about someone.

My family and I go every year to Lake Tahoe for Fourth of July. It is honestly my favorite place in the world to spend time with my family.
