I saw my mother go through surgical menopause, and at 35, I wasn't ready for that. I wasn't ready for the complications, like bone loss as a result of early menopause, that my mother had.

My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer when she was 47.

I would never hold my children back from that. I would never want them to resent me for holding them back from their father's wedding.

I'm no table flipper. I am more calm and collected in my fights.

Being a spokesperson for cancer awareness has been a passion of mine. It helps me in my recovery but also helps others.

With sun exposure, be careful.

I'm a spokesperson, and advocate of awareness. So when anything comes up on our bodies - if it's skin cancer or a bump or something we're not certain of - we need to see our doctors.

We can't ignore signals that our bodies are giving us when something is wrong.

Cancer really stinks.

I think keeping your family close and having them support you helps you so much, and also having a good man in your life, and I have a lot of great friends too.

We don't need an abundance of things.

I have to say it has been so important to have your friends and family there for you.

I love skiing.

I think of myself as pretty chill and down-to-earth.

I'm very humble.

I studied acting years ago; it was kind of a dream I had years ago, but I gave that up when I got married and had children.

Right after any kind of procedure you want to be surrounded by love and you need good healing vibes and positive energy around you.

Divorce in itself is so difficult to get through.

It's hard to expose your personal life publicly, and everyone has an opinion.

There's a difference between reality TV and reality. There's a big difference.

What I most hope is that Kelsey and I can improve our communications and truly co-parent our two wonderful children.

Don't get me wrong I love a good fashion show as much as any girl - I just had a lot of time to develop other, not-so-girly interests in addition to shoes and purses.

I find I really put careful consideration into my friendships with women because the relationships can be so sensitive. Let's face it: some women can be down right catty. This is what makes me cautious, but also what makes my true friendships so dear to me.

My self-deprecating humor may not be as funny as I thought.
