“Mad, I’m not gonna cry. I promise, and I won’t embarrass you,” she said. “You and your brothers and your sisters are my happiness. And there is never a greater honor in this world than being your mom.”

She also talk about her transformation from actress to humanitarian saying, “I came into this business young and worried about my own experiences, my own pain. And it was only when I began to travel and look at life beyond my home that I understood my responsibility to others. And I’ve met survivors of war and famine, rape. I’ve learned what life is like for most people in this world. And how fortunate I was to have food to eat and a roof over my head, a safe place to live and the joy of having my family safe and healthy. And I have realized how sheltered I have been. And I was determined, never to be that way again.”
