On not seeing herself as a role model: "I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, 'Do what I do.' I think it's a little pretentious to say, 'I'm a role model'; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way. Are there things I'd take back? I don't know if I'd take back the lessons that I've learned. Yeah, there are things that I can be embarrassed about or wish didn't happen, but if I didn't have all those bad, crazy things, would I be who I am today? I don't know."
On dealing with negative chatter online: "I have developed a thick skin. After I went through my [last] divorce, I saw so much hate, people writing the nastiest, craziest things — stories that weren't true, that [the marriage] was fake for TV. Come on. I would never, ever, ever do that. Think about it. If it was fake, I would have picked someone who had signed something to not make my life so difficult afterward, you know?"
