Jennie Garth quotes:

I worked as a secretary, a waitress and a dance teacher - all in high school.

My husband and I are building a 'green' house in Santa Ynez Valley. We bought 15 acres and we're going to build a house that's green from the ground up.

When I turned 30, due to my father's heart history and my family genetics, I vowed to start seeing a cardiologist every year and just really be proactive and take my own heart health into my own hands.

It's never too late to take your heart health seriously and make it a priority.

My passion is about motivating as many families as possible to learn about vegetables and healthy eating together.

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot, so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more, trying to prolong their youth.

We just moved out of L.A. because I didn't want to be raising my girls in the city. They're in public school now and they're in a normal situation. We're sort of settling into that. It's just a choice.

I'm one of those women who likes to chat and share knowledge and pass it around.

With the chronic obesity in America, it's more important than ever to not only feed kids healthy foods but to teach them how to make healthy choices on their own.

I'm just taking care of myself: Eating less, exercising more, drinking a lot of coconut water.

I was an excellent student before I left school. But I graduated early so that I could work longer hours on '90210.'

My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets - Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet.

Sitting around on the couch eating Pringles all day is not going to help anyone.

I don't believe in depriving yourself of things you want.

I like being a woman and having a womanly body.

I love kids and children, and I love being a mom.

I think with any sort of rejection, you're angry that you weren't enough for that person. So I don't know if I'm angry at myself for not being enough, or if I'm angry at him for not considering me to be enough.

I have to pick myself up every day and say, 'The show must go on,' meaning life as I know it must go on, whatever the obstacle is, I know I can handle it, and I can get through it.

They told me that I had a leaky valve, which is something that is certainly not life-threatening. It's common and it's something that had I not known about it, would I have lived? Sure. But it's something that I think is important to know, especially as I get older and given that I have heart disease in my family.

It's not like I want someone to treat me badly. I want somebody who looks like they could treat me badly, but then really treats me good.

Being a lazy parent and letting your kid watch stuff that's not appropriate for their age is one of the bigger mistakes you can make.

You are the sunshine of my life! Thanks for brightening my world with the warmth of your Love...

I really enjoy being able to spend my time doing different charitable and philanthropic activities.

I know I have the ability to do so much more than just stand in front of the camera the rest of my life.

I still enjoy acting. I love the moment in front of the camera, but it's all the other moments that I don't enjoy. The 'business' aspect of it, the gossip.

The craziest thing I did to get a guy to notice me was going out with his best friend. It worked - he did notice me - but I don't recommend it.

My dad's passion was to teach adults to read so they could read to their kids.

If there's an energy between two people it doesn't matter what you look like or what you do for a living or where you live.

I got a fur shawl once. I was so disgusted! And I couldn't re-gift it. I don't know anyone who'd want fur.

My mom really instilled in me that I'm beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls.

I've always been very bonded to animals - more so than most people. (laughs) I don't think that they can defend themselves, so we have to help them.

I don't think there's a hobby that I haven't tried on.

In high school, I was kind of a loner because I had moved to a new school.

I was an excellent student before I left school. But I graduated early so that I could work longer hours on '90210.

I have a strong constitution.

I just don't know how to date.

I just want to love and be loved.

I react emotionally to everything!
