Whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I'm proud of that. But it's someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving... I'm so much about school, consistency and tradition.

Trust that things will be okay - especially if you put in the time and effort to make them be okay.

It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have.

I've approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus.

You can't treat a romantic relationship the same way you do a business one, by being bossy. It takes tender, compromising, loving tactics. And that's such a different approach.

I'm certainly not an uptight home owner.

It's not just about acting. I love film, I'm a director now, I love writing, I love producing, I love having a company that makes films and to be prolific and have a place to put all the ideas that are constantly bubbling up inside of me and that don't let me sleep at night.
