"It's allowed me to reinvent myself and go from young ingenue to prove to everyone that I was a good businesswoman. That's where Celebrity Apprentice came into [the picture]," Vivica said.

"I always try to use reality to my advantage instead of a disadvantage. ... I'm grateful for reality. I really am," she concluded.
