“I'm not talent. Not considered 'talent' by Lifetime. I'd like to say I'm their savior, but that would be cocky.”
“If I could have worked from the time I was born until I was 18 and never had to work again, I would have done it.”
“I don't want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, 'Wow, you've done a great job.'”
“Doing a show for three weeks is nothing like doing a show for seven seasons.”
“I declared bankruptcy, and that was the worst thing I ever should have done.”
“I made lots of mistakes - the number one mistake being trusting other people with my money.”
“I don't want to hear the word 'can't.'”
“I create stars.”
“I was never focused on me, me, me all the time. I was always focused on somebody else.”
“I have spent so much time and so much energy making other people's children stars.”
“I've been talked about by a lot better people than the general public.”
“My mother taught children to love to dance.”
“I have spent the greater part of my life in a hotel room with seven or eight kids, looking after everyone, sorting out fights, wiping noses, handing out towels, not having a clean towel left for me.”
“You always have to remember that if you say something negative, it's going to come back to haunt you.”
“Everybody wants to be me. What can I say?”
“If a whole bunch of people want to make your life a living hell, they're gonna do it.”
“For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who's made one negative comment about me, I've probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.”
“I want to retire and want to be able to live out my days financially secure. That's what everyone wants.”
“It takes me about two hours to run into Target. People always want a picture. They hem and haw, and they can't spit the words out, so they waste about five minutes of my time just standing there getting ready for a picture. Just do it!”
“I hate what I look like on TV, and I want to look better, and nothing makes the mothers more jealous.”
