“It’s hard to be married to somebody for 10 years and try to say, ‘No, I don’t love them anymore.’ I love the memories we have together, the good times.”

On the possibly exploitative nature of the show:

“Coming from a mom who laid on bed rest from the time I found out I was pregnant, from 7 weeks pregnant to 30 weeks, I absolutely would not put anything in my mouth that would harm them, and fought for evey second of their existence, I can tell you that there is nothing that would ever force me to put them in harm’s way.”

On why she doesn’t quit while she’s ahead:

“We can’t turn life off.I can’t turn life off. In the last nine, 10 months, it’s gotten really crazy and I can’t seem to get away from it at this point. My goal in all this is I just want peace for my kids.”

On the breakup with Jon:

“Whatever happened, it happened so quickly. I think I was on a plane coming back from somewhere and I remember thinking, ‘We’re not going to recover from this,’ ” she says. “I looked at him and he looked at me, and we were completely different people. I think somewhere down the line his goals changed … and they felt detrimental to me and the kids…I still wake up every day and I think the phone will ring and it’ll be … the old Jon.”

On the rumor she had an affair with her bodyguard:

“So unthinkable to me that to have to think about it makes me sick.”
