| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I've never met a woman ever, anywhere, bar none, that was more feminine than Dixie Carter. |
| 2 | Personally, I think life offers us the opportunity to take chances and make changes all the time. |
| 3 | I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant, which was nine years ago. But I'll still smoke in a movie. I have other vices, you know, like potato chips and chardonnay - but not together. |
| 4 | Lately, I just let myself eat it more because I think, 'Oh, my God, a piece of cheese tastes so good'. I think it's your body telling you something. |
| 5 | You know as far as diet goes, for a while I was really obsessed with counting fat grams along with the rest of the world. |
| 6 | We all fantasize about a relationship we'd like to do over or something we'd like to change about our past. I think there are a lot more opportunities for second chances in our lives than we think. |
| 7 | I think that people get to a certain point in their life and they think that nothing can change. |
