Blood relatives often have nothing to do with family, and similarly, family is about who you choose to make your life with.

In one way or another, everybody has this experience in their lives... the moment when you have to define your relationship to family and how your family's made you who you are, whether you've spent your life running from your family or deeply connected to your family.

Family transcends the flesh. You don't love someone because they look like you, you love their spirit; it's the soul connection.

A family is a group of people who are committed to loving and supporting one another. It's just that simple.

We live in a society that celebrates familial connection above any other kind of relationship. We are shown photos of our great-grandparents and encouraged to marvel over facial similarities. We are told to take pride in our bloodlines, celebrate our ancestry.

Family is at the heart of everything I do.

One wants to be together with one's family. That's what families are about.

I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood.

Life is precious and relationships are precious. I'm a great believer in family.

I believe family first. Blood is thicker than water. I grew up like that, and I want to continue to keep that goal in my heart. Just family first! Just honesty, integrity, and respect. All of that. I live by the code of those things. If you do that you'll be fine.
