I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'

It wasn't really that hard to act when you see somebody holding a gun to your partner. It's also believing the circumstances and I believed it.

I'm a size 8, and I feel proud of that, because it's healthy. I've never felt compelled to be a skinny actress.

Losing my mother at such an early age is the scar of my soul. But I feel like it ultimately made me into the person I am today; I understand the journey of life. I had to go through what I did to be here.

When you see a girl like me bustin' perps, there ain't no time to be pretty.

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

I'm a water person; water heals.
