I miss my 'Facts of Life' family. But I had been preparing myself to leave the show for some time before we called it quits.

I've been asked for years to do a reality show. One of my criteria is that I would be given the opportunity to show a strong family unit.

'Facts of Life' was and continues to be a milestone on my journey. But when people act like the journey ended when 'Facts of Life' ended, that's annoying. I could never and would never want to divorce myself from it because it was such a great experience from so many different facets.

He smokes and quits for himself and I smoke for myself. I won't leave it because he does.

I have an amazing husband who is a strong man of God. He is very dedicated to me and our family.

Balance is so important. We all have to cut up our clock to find out what works for you. If you're ineffective, you're using bad clock management, and you have to adjust. Using a basketball reference, the team who wins is the team that can make adjustments in real time.
