Kmart uses such mass production that they are able to lower their prices. My hose, for instance, is made by the same factory, the same machines, the same threads as the hose made by four top designers.

Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.

I always tell my children, 'You have to face your fear. If not, it's like running from a dog that will bite you in the back.'

Panic is a horrible thing.

I've always been into older homes, even if I have to refurbish or remodel or raise roof lines or knock out walls.

My mother lived till she was 95 and never had a line on her face or a frown line. She was beautiful.

I was the first actress who branded her own line at a time when everyone just lent their name to a product. Everyone said I shouldn't do it, but it was probably the best thing I've ever done.

More than 100 million women have worn my clothing and accessories,, and that's so fulfilling. My skincare line proves you don't have to spend a fortune to have beautiful skin. I've loved acting but if I never played another role and just focused on my business, I'd be happy.

I de-stress with my family, just at home pruning roses, cutting, working in the garden.

I don't even think my children are aware of what I've done. When somebody will ask me for my autograph, Spenser-Margaret will say, 'You must watch 'Charlie's Angels.' You know, that's like all I've done to them.

Family is always first. Even though my kids are older - my son is 25 and my daughter is 21 - I still like to sit down and have dinner with them as much as I can.

I get better roles in television. I'm not going to do a lesser role just to be in a feature film.

I've been a fortunate girl: I grew up in a family that loved me from day one. I feel well grounded and lucky from that. So everything else is a bonus, because I grew up in this family that I adored, and adored me, and I think when you have that, you are already ahead of the game in the sense of how you feel about yourself.

Kmart's as much a part of my history as 'Charlie's Angels.' Twenty-five years! It's not just a celebrity brand.

I inherited some Chanel pieces from my mother. I've worn Prada - absolutely. Wonderful designers are inspiring. I also love designers not known. I love a lot of vintage pieces. I am pretty minimal, pretty classic.

It's intimidating to try and pull your home together if you don't have an interior designer.

I have a particular image, and my customers know my line isn't going to be so trendy it will be out of style next year.

Cancer stops you in your tracks. It really makes you think about what's important. In a second, life can change. Don't ever forget to say thank you for love and family. What good is your success without them?

Success is carved out of a hard tree. It doesn't just happen. It's people who stick to it that succeed.

When I first decided to launch a clothing line, I was pregnant with my daughter Spencer-Margaret, so I looked for a retailer with values that mirrored my own growing family concerns. Kmart is a family store where value-conscious moms shop, so my partnership with Kmart seemed like a natural fit.

Just because something is three months away and seems far off, doesn't mean you will want to be there when the time comes.

Angels are like diamonds. They can't be made, you have to find them. Each one is unique.

After having children, life becomes about living beyond yourself; about being bigger and better.

I'm an old-fashioned girl, and I didn't believe in living with people, so I guess I married for the wrong reasons at times.

I never looked good in a bikini. My legs were too thin.
