I trust my gut a lot.

I was a starving artist.

I'm very firm in my beliefs.

I make music that speaks to me.

I'm a big sports fan and go to games.

I'm never going to be a gourmet cook.

I like to fish. I love to stay outdoors.

I tend to look at the silver lining of things.

I'm a very guarded person, very controlled person.

I don't have a makeup bag, I have a makeup artist!

It's fun to have an over-the-top stage personality.

You can never be too sexy for mainstream television.

Nobody's ever going to marry me for my cooking skills.

White diamonds can get boring, so I love a colored stone.

My husband's a lawyer, and I lived a lawyer's wife's life.

As human begins, we all have layers to ourselves, you know?

I have a really great bathtub, and I unwind by taking baths.

Craft and art and discipline in what you do will make you happy.

Erika Jayne was born out of rebellion. I like to break the rules.

My mother was a makeup artist for Estee Lauder and she taught me.

I don't enjoy fighting with people. I don't enjoy having conflict.

As an artist you always want to evolve and you always want to grow.

I would have never thought to write a memoir, but I'm glad I did it.

If I'm not working I'm not wearing makeup. The skin needs to breathe.

I like to describe my style as S&M chic with a little hood-rat appeal.

I grew up a Madonna fan, still am a Madonna fan, and will die a Madonna fan.

There are only so many material things you can have before it becomes boring.

I love costume jewelry, because, listen, you can't pick a real jewel every day.

You have to work to look good. You don't wake up and effortlessly look fabulous.

You have to treat your skin very tenderly. You can't be aggressive with your skin.

I think my mother and grandmother had style even though we're humble Southern people.

I've grown up disciplined all my life as a dancer, so I know how to eat and work out.

People see me and assume one thing, and they get to know me and see that there's more there.

All I can be is myself. I feel comfortable in my own skin, which I think is maybe what translates.

I lived in New York from 1989 to 1996, and I feel like I just got used to carrying everything around.

I was fortunate enough to go to an art school where we had a lot of different ethnicities represented.

I don't think anyone should tap you on the shoulder and tell you that it's time to sit down and retire.

'Chicago' has got such great women characters. It runs off two women, so what could be better than that?

Before I was cast on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' I had secretly quit Erika Jayne altogether.

My mother was very hard on me when I was a child. I think she was raising me how the world was treating her.

I like to slip out in the middle of the night and take my Lamborghini and drive it really fast on the highway.

I had everything that you want. Every material object. Everything. But inside my core I still wasn't satisfied.

I had never, ever thought about being on any 'Real Housewives' show, so it was interesting to actually be on one.

It's great to have financial support. But having someone's emotional support is something that I wish I had more of growing up.

If you want to look good it's hair, it's makeup, it's wardrobe, and then those people that help facilitate that. They're not cheap.

You know, I entertain whether I'm on 'Housewives,' or whether I'm on 'Dancing With the Stars,' or whether I'm on 'Young and the Restless.'

All artists, no matter who they are, have always come into contact with criticism. No one's gonna like what you do 100 percent of the time.

Both my husband and I come from very modest backgrounds. He's obviously done very well, and I've worked hard all my life and done well, too.

That's the one thing I loved most about Tom when my son was younger was that he welcomed him with open arms. I'm very thankful. That's my guy.

I've dealt with this forever: the younger woman that married the wealthier, older man. I mean, I'm tired of having to justify my 20-year marriage.
