Raising children has made me more patient and selfless.

My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.

It wasn't about me trying to lose weight. It was all about emotions.

I really do feel like I'm in better shape and look better now - even after having three kids - than I did before.

I had no style when I was 17! I look at teenagers now and say, 'I wish I'd looked like them when I was that age.' I had no style whatsoever, but style also wasn't as prominent as it is today. I was just very laid back, usually wearing jeans and tank tops and flip flops.

The way I was raised, family was always the most important. When I had our first daughter, Natasha, I knew that's what I wanted to do.

My faith dictates a whole lot of what I'll do.
