I watch every 'Real Housewives' franchise there is.

I mean, on the television, I've got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I'm a wife now. You can't really be bossy when you're married.

I like girls who are the housewife-type.

At times, it seems as if the only women effortlessly balancing their jobs, kids, husbands and homes are the ones on TV.

Especially on television, it's not so much a patriarchy; it always seems that there's a smart, strong woman calling the shots, and her doofus husband. In the sitcom world, it's almost a cliche that the women have the common sense, going back to 'The Honeymooners.'

Ultimately, it's not my job to judge the 'Housewives' - we don't editorialize on the show; we really leave it to the audience. We have a certain wink, which is the Bravo wink. We may linger on a shot or we may let something play out longer, but we leave it to you.

The thing that's fun about the 'Housewives' is talking to your friends about it.

There are so many brilliant women on television right now.

Housewives run the home and sacrifice a lot, but many people forget that.

A pretty wife is something for the fastidious vanity of a roue to retire upon.
