“A lot of Hollywood couples get married young and wind up growing out of their relationship.”
“It's not easy to date when you're hefty. Besides I like feeling thin because it makes me feel amorous.”
“I'm a planner, and most networks don't plan. Bravo doesn't plan. Bravo is lucky in a lot of ways - they've got a lot of great talent, but at the same time, they don't nurture it. They lost 'Project Runway.'”
“My favorite splurge would be gluten-free pizza. Or I'm a total truffle addict so truffle mac and cheese.”
“I'm a dancer so anything related to dance I love to do. I also tried Zumba last week. That thing is tough! 15 minutes in I was going for a water break. It wasn't easy!”
“The best part about being a matchmaker is you are getting credits in heaven, as I really believe I work for God. The worst part is that matchmakers can often fix everyone up, all the way to the altar, but cannot find love themselves, so it is bittersweet.”
“I'm recognizable in certain circles, like girls know me, couples know me. But not all straight men know me.”
“I probably should be a little more cautious with how I speak, and I think my delivery needs to be a little softer.”
“I'm on the Sensa diet. It's a little magic powder based on Dr. Hirsh's clinical trials and studies and it basically signals the brain that you're full through smellology.”
“I'm Jewish, I can say it. We're storytellers. We were the moneylenders... Therefore we tell great tales to get what we need. I love Jewish men. They make the best husbands.”
“I state in my book 'Become Your Own Matchmaker,' confidence is the key to any endeavor. Women don't realize that when they do things they love and are passionate about - their confidence soars. Men are attracted to women who feel happy and decisive about life.”
“We have all loved a guy we know has issues. Despite popular opinions, until we give it a final try, the relationship will always be in the 'what if' stage.”
“For the women in California, they're just downtrodden because they're so gorgeous here. Every hot cheerleader comes to California to make it. The men don't want to get married, they're lazy lions. Matthew McConaughey is their poster boy so they can procreate and live on the beach in the trailer and have kids and have money and be hedonistic.”
“Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up, we grow out of our haircuts, our apartments and - often times - our romantic decisions.”
“If I weren't a matchmaker, I'd be a chef.”
“I'd like to adopt an older child, maybe 5 years old.”
“Oprah didn't want to put me on the show for a really long time because she thought I was more for the men than for the women.”
“There are a lot of millionairess situations. I'm one of them. I've always dated down financially. And now I'm changing my tune on that one. Things are going to change for me.”
“When a man gets cheated on, I'm like, 'Meh, he'll find somebody else.' When a woman gets cheated on, that's a deep wound. I think when a man is widowed, like Liam Neeson, I think that has more of an effect - you had a great love and the universe took her.”
“I'm a very stereotypical person... and that's part of my flavor, I guess, because I tell it like it is.”
