Raising teens is a challenge - that's for sure.

I am a straight shooter.

Nothing is more important to me than family.

It's hard giving advice to a friend about their marriage. You never know if you're saying too much or too little.

Doing 'Days of Our Lives' was fun. I always am happy when working on the set. I think it reminds me of my childhood, which, in spite of not being 'normal' in any way, was a happy one.

There are a lot of dogs that need homes, and it's not always easy to find the right fit.

I am fortunate that my husband likes to see me having fun and lets me be myself.

I have been dreaming of the day Farrah would graduate from college since the day she was born. When I was pregnant, all of my friends were just starting their first year of college.

I am very grateful that I have a husband that doesn't find looking too thin attractive. Phew!

Anytime I fly anywhere, I think... well, this could be it. I try so hard not to think like that, but I just can't get my head around the concept that this gigantic piece of machinery is 35,000 feet in the air, and I'm sitting in it.

My husband is always supportive and excited about my projects, and I feel very fortunate to have him cheer me on and encourage me.

If I've gained weight, it's OK. This is life; this is my reality. The weight goes up, it goes down, my skin's not looking great, or whatever it is: it's part of life. I do - I feel pressure to look my best, but I think I do that in just my personal life anyway.

I admire those that keep Shabbat every week and do not allow anything to interfere with it. It is such a beautiful way to stay connected to friends and family and force yourself to slow down.

I am actually a very good cook (if I may say so myself). I just don't know that many recipes.

I was the executer of our mother's trust. She asked me to hold onto the house for 10 years and then sell it. I think that was because it was so hard to face dying and think of all her most prized possessions no longer being a part of our lives as well. Business wise, it was a terrible investment, because we were losing money.

Sometimes my nieces feel more like the little sisters I never had.

I always struggle with explaining my relationship with my sister Kim. I am not sure why I am not always able to be myself when I am around her.

While my mom was flawed - as we all are - she loved her children more than anything in the world.

Letting your guard down and the world into your home is very risky, I know.

I want everyone to know that I love my sister and have always been there for her.

I feel like you're only young once.

I am a strong girl but also sensitive.

My sister was such a young mom (as was my mom), and she loved the help that I was more than willing to give.

Growing up in Beverly Hills, everyone was Jewish, and I always secretly wanted to be.

Being a mom is something that I never take for granted.

My children and I were all born in Los Angeles.

What you see is what you get with me.

I have come to a point where I have accepted that not everyone is meant to be friends.

I judge my friends by their character.

My husband's character speaks for itself.

I am not perfect. That's for sure.
