The 'Housewives' has helped me find my voice. I was always a people-pleaser, and coming into a show like this, you end up losing that.

Growing up as a child actress, I was tutored on movie and TV sets.

Growing up, cancer was one of those things that I heard other people talk about. The word scared me, but I always thought, 'Thank goodness I don't have to worry about that.' Then, in 1998, I lost my father to cancer.

Growing up in Beverly Hills, everyone was Jewish, and I always secretly wanted to be.

The urge that most people feel to have kids is the exact same as the urge that I have to not have kids. I do not want to raise a child.

If I can do it, men can certainly do it. It's interesting now to talk about equality in the home and involving men in household chores such that women don't have to over extend themselves doing both her job and coming home and doing all the household chores. So, that kind of sharing the load is something that I have seen in my family growing up.

When you think about it, Airbnb is a great solution if your family is traveling with you on business and you need more space, if you're going for an extended stay, like a week plus. It's a great solution if you want close proximity to the work site and maybe there isn't a hotel across the street or whatnot.

What the Chinese parent is conveying to the child is not that 'you've got to get A's or else I won't like you.' On the contrary, it's, 'I believe in you so much, I know that you can be excellent.'
