The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.

It's when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.

I love being a mom. And I think what I love the most is the way it makes me think about what's important and what's not important. What to fight for and what to just be cool with. What it is that I'm teaching through example and what it is that I was taught that I don't want to teach.

Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself; instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.

You could have all the riches in the world, but it doesn't mean much without family.

And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.

When I really need it, talking is the best way to deal with emotional pain.
