Just having someone make you laugh so hard that it hurts is so healing to me.

Adoption was a bumpy ride - very bumpy. But, God, was it worth the fight.

I am proud to be a role model for my viewers. I am finding out that helping victims is as or more rewarding the all the awards I win.

When I read the script sometimes, it's like 'Christ! Enough!' I can't sleep at night sometimes. There's the occasional script that just hammers you, that you can't shower off.

But trust can take you a long way. And my faith takes me a long way. And I think that our pains, our vulnerabilities, and our insecurities can fuel us to be better. To try harder. To dig deeper.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

My Dad taught me that good health is all about living in gratitude.
