I wanted to be an astronaut and wanted to go to space camp, but then I found out that I was too short to become an astronaut. My mom really made me believe that if I worked hard enough and if I really wanted to do it, I could do it.

It's never too early to involve your kids in giving back. And the more hands-on the experiences are, the better.

Eventually, I'll go back to acting, but for right now, my children are the most important thing in the world to me.

I have those moments with my kids and family where we try to unplug and just be in the moment. We put everything else to the side and just be there with our family.

I'm very much a family person.

My mom was the breadwinner in my family. I always thought, 'That's how it is.' I never thought that was the exception.

I went to Marymount College in New York City with a lot of kids whose parents paid their way, and I wouldn't even have thought of asking my parents - they couldn't afford it, not with six kids!

When I wrap my hands, I do it for my family. I owe my courage to them and also my success. That's why I fight.
