You can only get hurt so much before you get numb.
Teresa Giudice
Leopard is timeless... especially in Jersey!
In the shower, I love to exfoliate my body.
I adore my niece and nephews and love spending time with them.
I think it's refreshing that someone on TV can admit they drink beer, eat meat, and wear fur.
Reality TV is hard. You put yourself out there and you have no control over which parts they show (and don't show). And you are shooting sometimes 15 hour-days for months and months. It's exhausting - physically and mentally.
I really believe that being positive and being happy is a choice.
You've got to have thick skin in this business.
It's hard to keep moving forward, keep working, and keep your head up, but that's what strong women do. Especially being a mom, I can't fall apart.
People change. They get successful and change. They get unsuccessful and change.
I don't think kids climbing up the leg of someone is a big deal.
I love hanging out with my family in the warm sunshine more than anything.
Kids are just full of energy.
Housewives' is real, yes. We say what we're thinking at the time. But filming our real lives is a huge production that takes a long time. Sometimes you have to sit there for hours and hours while the show is being produced.
I'm humble - I'll always be humble. I'll never change, that's just not me.
I don't hate any of the Housewives.
I do love to laugh!
Like some people they're into nannies and the whole social life and they don't spend time with their kids. I'm always with my kids.
It's fun to be silly sometimes!
I make 'skinny' Italian food.
Nothing could prepare you for being instantly famous.
My first and most important job is being a mommy.
I love the way yoga makes me feel and sharing that with other people so they can feel the way I do.
Clearly, I'm not psychic.
My best friends - the people I trust the most - are Catholic, Jewish, African-American, gay, tall, short, blonde... you name it. I love people for their hearts, not their appearance or lifestyle.
I have a fashion degree and worked as a buyer for Calvin Klein and Macy's before I had kids. I've always worked. I love to work. But my family comes first.
Please hug your parents while you have them, tell your children how much you love them every second of the day, and don't let the petty things in life separate you.
Everything about Italy is hot: the climate, the people, the fashion, even the shape of the country - how much hotter can you get than a tall boot with a high heel?
After I lost my mom, something snapped inside of me and I got really angry.
The reaction I get from my fans is they love me, and I love them back.
When you're famous and you're young then you go partying, and you go to all the parties and stuff, I wasn't into that.
It's one of the best parts of being on the 'Real Housewives' and why I love it: getting to talk to so many great people.
It's important for girls to have a strong father figure in their lives.
No woman has ever come up to me and said that my husband was having an affair with her.
I'm really, truly, deep down happy for my friends when they do well. I want them to all succeed and be billionaires.
If you've seen me on 'The Celebrity Apprentice' or 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' you know that I find myself in hot situations far more often than I'd like.
I have always said that 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' has the most amazing and loyal fans on the planet.
I cannot believe how blessed I am to have such amazing, amazing fans.
Everyone loves my sayings like, 'happy wife, happy life,' 'delicious and juicy,' 'love love love,' 'fabulous.' So I've made T shirts with that and hats and I've started a custom-made jewelry line.
Sometimes in life you reach your breaking point, when you just can't deal with something anymore.
I'm a real housewife.
I have everything from leopard print slippers to leopard print sheets and pajamas.
I'm a mom. I live for my daughters.
I don't start shooting off my mouth. I'm not like that. I'm a mother.
I do the laundry, cook all the meals, take care of my kids and I love it.
Normally when you meet a person you don't like, you might have words with them, but then you walk away. When you're filming a show, you can't walk away.
I'm religious about making sure I always moisturize and wear eye cream.
If you see my vanity, I have so much makeup.
I'm always switching up my foundation. I like good coverage. I figure if you're going to wear foundation, it might as well have coverage.
Going away to prison was nothing, I'm just saying, compared to losing my mom.
