“I’m living the American Dream… one mistake at a time.”
“I have a taste for luxury, and luxury has a taste for me.”
“Being your own woman is great, but being your own man is better.”
“I don’t keep up with the Joneses, I am the Joneses.”
“It may look like I have it all, but I want more.”
“Life is a big adventure, and I never know where my chauffer will take me.”
“People make fun of Jersey Girls, but I think they’re just jealous.”
