“When I first moved to L.A., I went walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and I would tell myself, 'One day, I'm going to have my own star.'”

“I'm shy. I'm not outgoing. I'm a homebody. I am on TV, but you know, it's interesting. How much do I talk on TV?”

“I'm a businesswoman. You know, I have other investments too, real estate. A long time ago, I would buy a house and flip it. But now everybody does that, so I don't do that anymore because there's no houses out there to buy.”

“I think people think of me as this elegant person because they always see me dressed up.”

“Prior to having my first child, I had a huge ambition to go into movies and TV.”

“I feel for the players.”

“In my personal life, I'm a huge fan of Carolina Herrera. I just think her stuff is timeless and classic.”

“What people don't know about me is that I'm a pretty good businesswoman. Yes, I do this little ol' game show, but I know the show isn't going to last forever, so I've gone into different ventures. But I don't want to sound like I'm bragging.”

“I have a family and two cats; I get up with my kids early in the morning.”

“It's not the most intellectual job in the world, but I do have to know the letters.”

“My favorite movie is 'Imitation of Life.' It's just a true love story, and it really touched me.”

“Let's face it: I was never a very good actress.”

“It is what it is, and it's a crazy job - I literally touch letters and wear pretty clothes, and how do you describe that job? It's weird, but I've been doing it for a long time, and I'll be first to make fun of it - I really will - but I wouldn't trade it for anything else in world.”

“My biggest phobia is spiders. When I was in second grade, one of my classmates got bitten. That did it for me.”

“During the week, I usually stay home and cook a simple dinner. I go to bed early, get up early, exercise, and then on weekends, I'll go out to dinner.”

“I've worn over 6,700 gowns. They're all borrowed gowns, designer samples.”

“When I was having that alphabet soup, I never thought that it would pay off.”

“Never do anything that you don't want to do. Listen to your instincts and follow it.”

“I wear weird-colored toenail polish - like blue, green, or yellow. If it's strange-looking, I will wear it.”

“I made a baby blanket for both of my children and brought them home from the hospital in them, and they will always have them.”
