My husband may have been in the military, but no one tells me which leader to follow.

In your darkest moments of despair, a friend's hand on yours will get you through the worst.

Our main goal is to honor God and to honor this country by honoring and serving those families who serve.

A couple of times, I felt like I was cracking and I couldn't go on, and God would put another person in my place to help me.

I really enjoy the company of my kids... I'm not one of those people who goes 'Yeah, my kids are my mates', that's a dreadful kind of mother, but I'm fortunate that there are times that they do want me around, and I feel lucky that they let me into their world.

I feel very lucky. My family and I have worked hard, and I feel very grateful.

I cannot tell you what it means when children recognize. This is about the third generation for me. And when kids that small recognize me, it really pleases me, very gratifying.

My competition keeps me driven. My family and son and being home in Chicago keeps me humble, and my fans. They're the reason why I'm going hard and making sure everyone knows how to say my name.
