Check out the excerpts below:
On What is A Successful Marriage
“I don’t think there is a secret, really. I believe a happy marriage is about compatibility, honesty, communication, and dedication. We make sure to keep us—our marriage—a priority. We have to take shifts. When he’s in his NBA season I have to adjust to his life more and then when he has his off time he adapts to mine. It’s always a give-and-take. Keeping one another a priority and having genuine respect for each other is crucial. Without communication in a relationship, you’re at a stalemate, and that’s no way to live. We make our decisions together as a couple. It’s can never be a one-way thing. When you’re married you have to act as a team.”
On Her Married Life And Favorite Moments:
“Everything. When you’re married to the right person, it just works. It feels so good. Having the support emotionally and physically from someone that you trust unconditionally is priceless. I’m married to my best friend. We genuinely have fun together. You can’t force love, but when you let it find you, it’s phenomenal.”
On The Best Advice She received
“That you’ll never be able to please everyone in life, so stop trying. You’ll end up wasting your life and losing yourself. Just stay true to who you are”.
On How She Defines Success
“I don’t define success by the amount of money someone has or by their popularity. Life can be so unpredictable, and there are ups and downs. To me, success is setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Whether big or small, it’s important to have that discipline and a clear idea of what you want. In my opinion, just because a person is famous doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re successful.”
On The Important Things To Her
My family comes first and foremost. My husband is my number one priority and he knows that. The people around me are all my support system, and I think, given how unpredictable life can be, it’s important to be able to depend on them and count on them, no matter what.
Khloe also talked about talked about being bullied, her life in the spotlight, and her upcoming business ventures which include a new clothing with Sears, and an expanded line with OPI, and more perfumes in 2012.
