- "I did learn that it was the greatest thing in the world to respect yourself. Respect other people."― Little Milton
- "My mom really instilled in me that I’m beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls."― Jennie Garth
- "I think there’s a time to work, and everyone has to kind of adjust. And then there’s a time to relax, and be the mom or take the kids on vacation when you need to wind down.
