I always wear my heart on my sleeve.
'Housewives' opened the door for me for people to listen.
I am very grateful that I have a husband that doesn't find looking too thin attractive. Phew!
Raising teens is a challenge - that's for sure.
My husband is always supportive and excited about my projects, and I feel very fortunate to have him cheer me on and encourage me.
Working out always elevates my mood and reduces my anxiety.
I honestly do not believe in witchcraft.
Growing up, cancer was one of those things that I heard other people talk about. The word scared me, but I always thought, 'Thank goodness I don't have to worry about that.' Then, in 1998, I lost my father to cancer.
I first knew I wanted to be a mom when my sister Kathy had her first baby, Paris. She was so beautiful and sweet.
Doing 'Days of Our Lives' was fun. I always am happy when working on the set. I think it reminds me of my childhood, which, in spite of not being 'normal' in any way, was a happy one.
There are a lot of dogs that need homes, and it's not always easy to find the right fit.
I am actually a very good cook (if I may say so myself). I just don't know that many recipes.
Nothing is more important to me than family.
Sometimes my nieces feel more like the little sisters I never had.
I am fortunate that my husband likes to see me having fun and lets me be myself.
It's hard giving advice to a friend about their marriage. You never know if you're saying too much or too little.
I was the executer of our mother's trust. She asked me to hold onto the house for 10 years and then sell it. I think that was because it was so hard to face dying and think of all her most prized possessions no longer being a part of our lives as well. Business wise, it was a terrible investment, because we were losing money.
I know for me, personally, when something is being said about me that isn't true, it's extremely hurtful and frustrating.
While my mom was flawed - as we all are - she loved her children more than anything in the world.
I pride myself on being a good friend, and all my friends can attest to that.
