Erika Jayne

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

“If you have long hair that gets styled all the time, or if you're dancing and working out, dry shampoo is essential because you don't want to wash your hair every day.”

“'Housewives' has shone a light on women of middle age, that you're not out of the game, you're not old, you're not put out to pasture... You're lively, you're doing things, you're aggressive, you're making money, you're recreating yourself.”

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

“I'm a showman. I believe that you're a character every time you put on clothes.”

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

“I like fashion. I enjoy playing with it.”

“When I say there's a little bit of Erika Jayne in everybody, what I mean by that is: No one is one way all the time. No one is buttoned up all the time and no one is wild all the time. There are different parts to your personality, different layers - and that's really what Erika Jayne is, another layer to a human being.”

“The first time I met my father was when I was 25. I was visiting here in Los Angeles, I had not moved here yet. And he came down to meet me. It wasn't emotional, it was like meeting a stranger.”

“I've known my son was going to be in law enforcement from the time he could walk and talk. That's all he's ever wanted and that's kind of your role as parent is to honor who your children really are.”

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

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

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

“My breakfast is egg whites, avocado and grilled tomatoes. Lunch is usually some type of chicken and then for dinner... I like to eat. I'll eat pasta even though I'm not supposed to.”

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

“I'm never going to be a gourmet cook.”

“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.”

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

“I go to a dermatologist, so I'm under that kind of care because you really can't get this skin without a professional - that's the truth.”

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