Regina King

"I never really loved school through junior high, but then I started running track my freshman year, and I was just like, 'Wow, this is cool!'"

"Athletes are very cool to me."

"You don't know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don't have a child, you don't know what that is. But when you experience it, it is the most fulfilling ever."

"I stay in tune with my family and God."

"I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes."

"I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it."
