If you aren't going to do something all the way, don't do it.

At the age of 50, I did "Celebrity Fit Club" and I had to get on a scale and be weighed in front of everyone. I felt like I was naked and for the first time, there was nowhere to hide. I felt like I could finally be myself. It was really cathartic, and I realized I could share my mistakes. I could tell my story and not be ashamed, and show others with these same problems that they aren't alone.

I began to realize that life, despite moments of happiness and joy, is really about discovering priorities and dealing with unforeseen vagaries, differences, obstacles, inconveniences, and imperfections.

This thing in society that you have to be a stick will always be in my mind, but that's just something I have to deal with.

As soon as I hear the word "competition" I get serious and start doing everything that I can do.

I hit rock bottom when I was doing "The Brady Brides." I was supposed to be at the studio, screen testing to pick the guy that would play my husband. At this time, I had been up for three days doing coke and was playing solitaire in my closet.

Stars now also have problems with drugs, and it can be even harder being so out in the public eye - it's hard for them to keep their sanity and normal self present, but they can do it.
