Meditation is very important to me. I feel off-balance when I skip a day.

I usually need to sit with pain a while. Really feel it. Then I need to talk it out. Luckily, I am surrounded by wonderful listeners who haven't told me to shut up yet.

TV was my life, growing up. I ran home from school to watch television, and even did my homework with the TV on - my mom had a rule that as long as my grades didn't fall, I was allowed to. So it was my dream to work in television.

When my husband came to my parents' house for the first time, he asked, 'Why is everyone screaming? Why are they so angry?' I said, 'No one's angry. This is just how we communicate.

There is always a reason. When I look back on things that really upset me at the moment, I can always see why it happened in retrospect.

My grandmother always would say, "This, too, shall pass." It is always true.

My first waitress job was at Johnny Rockets in New Jersey, and then I waited tables at a sports bar.
