I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.

I have tons of sunglasses. My husband won't let me buy another pair because I lose them all the time.

I've been in a lot of fiery relationships, and it is so exciting. But there's a more profound feeling when the love is just real and not so painful.

Since I was 15 years old, all I wanted was to find the guy I was going to marry.

But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more'.

I'm definitely someone who likes to fly by the seat of her pants. My mum always prays for the best.

There's a directness and a feistiness to being from Jersey.
