Erika Jayne

I love costume jewelry, because, listen, you can't pick a real jewel every day.

People see me and assume one thing, and they get to know me and see that there's more there.

I make music that speaks to me.

I think my mother and grandmother had style even though we're humble Southern people.

You have to work to look good. You don't wake up and effortlessly look fabulous.

Who knows what happens with 'Housewives?' I will say this, what a great opportunity to have been on the show, and the doors that it's opened for me, and I have nothing but great things to say about the show.

I'm very afraid of the dark. I even have a night light.

Before I was cast on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' I had secretly quit Erika Jayne altogether.

I've known my son was going to be in law enforcement from the time he could walk and talk. That's all he's ever wanted and that's kind of your role as a parent is to honor who your children really are.

Both my husband and I come from very modest backgrounds. He's obviously done very well, and I've worked hard all my life and done well, too.

All artists, no matter who they are, have always come into contact with criticism. No one's gonna like what you do 100 percent of the time.
