“I never understood the importance of fans until we struggled and went through tough times.”

“I've lost a lot of control in my life.”

“I'm willing and excited to learn whatever I can.”

“Moms are as versatile as dads.”

“In this family, we don't see color or preference, we see qualities and hearts.”

“I'm raising kids who are going to scrutinize people inside and out.”

“I just know that on TV or off TV, I've been very much targeted and torn apart.”

“I think I got to the point where a lot of runners end up: You plan another race so you have something to focus on and that's what I do - I focus.”

“I would love to be the voice of a cartoon character in a movie for my kids. I think that would be fun.”

“Contrary to popular belief, I really enjoyed my time on 'Dancing With the Stars.'”

“I am a mother first. I will always be a mother, and I would die for my kids if need be.”

“I don't want to be single for the rest of my life. And I felt that way for a long time.”

“I've learned to deal with stress. In fact, things that would make the next person go over a cliff don't even make my radar anymore.”

“My main concern is my kids. And I don't want them to see or hear anything on TV that I didn't discuss with them.”

“In my real life, hard work, doing my job, working well with others and finding solutions without drama has never gotten me fired before.”

“I married an Asian. I have eight biracial children, therefore I'm quite certain that I'm the last person that could be called a racist.”

“The fact that people really support me and want the kids and I to do well... is flattering.”

“I am not willing to comment in public on the custody discussions regarding my children. What I will say is this: I am and always will be a mother first, but as a single working mom I will do everything necessary to provide for my kids despite the opinions of others.”

“You have to be comfortable enough to take what people say about you and laugh.”

“Obviously, as parents, we want to do what's best for the kids.”
