“To step into acting was not that difficult a transition to make. What was difficult was the work and the practice that went into becoming good at it, because I hadn’t had any training.”

I’m as involved as I can be. Whenever I’m asked to do something, I always tend to show up.

I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.

I think it’s important to raise your kids, start ’em early. Teaching them the values and morals, so when they get out there on their own, you know they have it. They just have to remember to use it, but they have it.

I try to only commit myself to things that I think I can accomplish and commit myself to 100 percent. I try not to bite off more than I can chew.

If you try to follow everyone else’s mold, you’ll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.

Living for today will bring about dying for today. You can’t just think, ‘I’m going to die anyway,’ because that’s what’s stopping us from moving forward.

If the Old and New Testament teach us anything, they teach us that nothing is too difficult for God. What he originates, he orchestrates.

There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.

While unbelief sees the difficulties, faith sees God between itself and them.
