Quotes
He was horrible. No strategy at all. The strategy can't be to not play the game, you have to get in the game. So I just really wondered how he won Big Brother. I was very confused after playing with him because he only wanted to kill all the handsome men and I really like handsome men. But I guess, you know, I am a straight woman, so handsome men would be my delight.
I'm sure they did. As housewives, we just have needless drama, drink champagne, shop, and spend lots of money. So it's totally different than running across the field with a 50 pound bag. I think people thought we wouldn't have any strategy besides being catty and mean girls. And some are definitely mean girls, but I think I'm nice.
I have lots of jobs. But I think being a housewife makes me understand people's human nature and the need to survive, shall we say. They will do anything, throw anybody under the bus, at any cost, so it is good training because if you could survive housewives, in particular Housewives of Atlanta, honey, you could go to the Vietnam War and come out with a win.
I think being a lawyer. I can do any roundtable because we are trained to listen succinctly, rebuttal people's allegations. The training calls for you being a performer, but also to be calm, cool and collected, no matter how much you want to jump up and kill them. Instead of killing them with your hands, you kill them with your words.
Well, when they come to me, they're already dead, so I really don't murder people, we just sort of put them back together. However, being in the business gives me an insight on people, because you get people at the worst of times and you understand how to comfort people having horrible moments of grief.
