I had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much.

I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.

My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.

I grew up in a strong faith-based family. I think I have selected to return to those roots for strength, for my family, for myself and to protect our children and to forgive others and move on and face forward.

My father in his way influenced me and my sister to educate ourselves and to try to do things in life.

My faith and family has helped me a great deal in that it helps me to live to a different standard.

Since I was a little girl, I have witnessed the strength and courage that energized my mother, who left every sorrow and pain in the past, who would work unyieldingly to obtain her goals, who was the great warrior from whom I learned all the values that are today fundamental pillars of my every day.

Family is very important to me. People often ask me how I managed to stay grounded and sane, having started as a child star and growing up in the industry, and really, it's God. But it's also my family and God in my family.

My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

For me, my family and my faith have been what's really been my anchor, and grounding me, and helping me navigate through a lot of the things that really destroy marriages in Hollywood, and in your own personal integrity.
