CAROLINE RHEA

My daughter is exceptionally chatty. I'm not a braggy mother but she is gifted - with the personality of a Russian gymnastics coach.

It's so easy to judge everybody and for some reason extra weight is the one thing everything feels OK to joke about.

Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks.

I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.

Being in therapy is great. I spend an hour just talking about myself. It's kinda like being the guy on a date.

As a kid, I always wanted to be Carol Burnett or Johnny Carson. I love to chat and entertain.

I grew up thinking that if I wanted to go be prime minister, I could.

I've got big feet, so filling someone else's big shoes doesn't scare me.

Sitting next to Olivia Newton-John, I was like, 'Do not sing one song from Grease.' That's all I was telling my brain at all times: 'Do not sing Hopelessly Devoted. Don't do it.'

I'm so into momminess.

I was just the youngest in the family, and most in desperate need of attention.

I always wanted to film 'Biggest Loser' in Hawaii. We could call it, 'Come on I wanna weigh you.'

Hello? Three words: Benicio Del Toro, which, incidentally, is Spanish for 'he wants me.' It is just ridiculous how hot he is. I feel the same way about Benicio as I did when I was a kid lusting after David Cassidy.

I'd like a pop-up magazine with 45 articles on Russell Crowe. I'm like a teenager. I'd have 'Teen Beat' if I could, for grown-ups.

I am conversational - I just like to engage and talk about things.

I guess I feel like somebody flipped a switch, and the whole world is in Technicolor now.

I remember I was so crabby in my third trimester - I got gestational diabetes because I'd been acting like I was in a one-woman pie-eating contest.

Don't compare yourself with someone else's version of happy or thin. Accepting yourself burns the most calories.

I'm very impressed by St. Patrick's. Another deity to me is definitely Saks Fifth Avenue. Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks.

I'll be a host for life!

You can't get any braver than going on national television to be weighed.

I lied on my Weight Watchers list. I put down that I had 3 eggs... but they were Cadbury chocolate eggs.

My father can not finish a sentence. When we were kids he would go, 'Girls the most important thing in life to remember is...' 'Daddy, what is it?' 'What's what, honey?' 'The most important thing in life to remember.' 'Oh, what's that?'

I always feel slightly sorry to be the voice of whatever I'm experiencing.

My favorite machine at the gym is the vending machine.
