“When I was with my second husband, I'd always paint my nails and go to...” — Shirley Ballas Quote

When I was with my second husband, I'd always paint my nails and go to bed with my make-up on; he loved all that.

I just remember one girl really getting me on the field and beating the holy crap out of me. I never to this day know why. And then people used to be funny because we were on welfare. People used to make fun of you. But I used to get school dinners so I thought it was great, I got a hot meal every day.

On Twitter one lady said, I've seen corpses that look better than Shirley.' I saw the picture she was talking about that Comic Relief had posted and I thought, Well yeah, she's got a point.'

I like the table to be beautiful with flowers and a nice tablecloth. I'm the hostess with the mostess.

When you go to a show, Americans in New York are very proper, much more so than the French. Everything is perfect. Their hair, the nails, everything. The look. Everything is perfection.

When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails.

When I was younger, I was always obsessed with nails.

I'm not gonna sit and pretend I'm hard as nails.

For the 'Try' video, I didn't prep or starve myself and over-exercise. And then I didn't get my nails done. I didn't get my hair done. I didn't get a facial. I didn't have a stylist.
