You survived the abuse, you’re going to survive the recovery.

When I was pregnant, I was so huge and people on the bus would get up for me. That made me feel so precious and valued and valuable. I try to treat everyone like they're pregnant.

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.

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.

Just smiling at someone walking down the street can make the person's day. It's all about paying it forward.

I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more.

I have so much love that I didn't even know about.
