I speak about family and adoption because it 100% changed my life and who I am. It definitely played a very large role into just learning how to be grateful for what you have and being fulfilled in a way that a lot of adopted kids don't feel.

That was a real learning element for me because I realized that the more true you are to yourself the more you will lose people.

I'm learning but I'm getting better at it because I'm learning how to hear God in worship.

It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.

Your work is first learning is first winning is everything because without it there is nothing.

I get stubborn and dig in when people tell me I can't do something and I think I can. It goes back to my childhood when I had problems in school because I have a learning disability.

Just because you are CEO don't think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning the way you think and the way you approach the organization. I've never forgotten that.

I am involved with 'Write Girl ' which is such a great organization because they go into inner city schools and work with underprivileged girls to pair them up with other writers. And it gets them learning to express themselves and become familiar with their own voice. They have a 100% success ratio getting those girls into college.

It has to be a very specific role for me because of my accent. I can't complain I've been working since I got to LA. But it is hard. I have no training as an actress so I try whatever I do like school because I'm learning.

Generally I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about.
