“I think a lot of people can come across looking messier than they are, but that's what reality TV is unfortunately.”

“I have older boys and two of them are driving which is scary to me just because of the police nowadays.”

“Our ultimate goal with Real Models is to open a school and I would love to do it here in Miami, open up a charter school.”

“If someone at VH1, the powers that be, said, 'Shaunie, we want you to completely do your family show,' would I do cartwheels on over to it? Absolutely, because that is probably the most fun I've ever had shooting anything ever so I would totally be fine with that and just do my EP but, yeah.”

“I can't control what everyone else does, I can't control anybody else's behavior, but I can control mine.”

“For all reality TV, and all the viewers of reality TV, just be entertained. Don't invest your feelings, your heart, your soul into reality TV. It is entertainment. And that's all that it should be.”
