TAMERA MOWRY

Finding out I was pregnant was one of the most joyous moments in my life. I will never forget it.

I'm totally fine with people criticizing me in shows... people like this show, or don't; you're entitled to your opinion. But when people are criticizing you as a person, I have to say it's a little bit different.

I love to travel the world. My husband and I always travel and everywhere we go I've been to Italy, of course London, Ireland, and you just receive so much love.

A lot of the time when people get married in the infatuation, it will go down. That is inevitable. The infatuation stage will not last forever.

You look in my room and it looks neat enough, but if you dared to look under my bed or in my closet, oh what a mess!

I'd rather marry my husband in the stage where I know what I'm getting into and what it's going to be like for our life together.

This is the way I see it: I've worked really, really hard for Tamera Mowry. I will eventually change my name to be Tamera Housley, but I'll be Tamera Mowry - that's going to be my acting name.

What people are going to be surprised about is that Tia and I are really different. We're nothing like the characters on 'Sister, Sister.' We're kind of swapped. I was the crazy, mischievous one on the show - Tia was the studious, more serious one.

I have a best friend as a husband, and he is my number one supporter. He's a family man, and he's always giving back to God. That is what makes him a beautiful man. We're not perfect by any means, but that makes us beautiful as well. We're not afraid to say we're not perfect. We have our disagreements, but that comes along with marriage.

I loved being a student more than being in school. I was kind of the nerd type; I was more into my career and my studies than the dances and being popular.

I had babies later in life, and it's harder for me. You don't realize how often you're picking them up, and then your back goes out. You need the energy.

My mom was such an amazing example. She was a mom, wife, and a career woman.

I wasn't raised to see color; I was raised to see character.

God is going to see you through the difficult times.

I want to create my own charity, getting inner-city kids to read more. And I want to produce my own films.

I just want to be there for my husband. I don't ever want him to think that he's not getting everything at home - love, attention, encouragement, a meal. I just want him to feel the best he feels at home. I think that's what a good wife is. Someone who is very attentive to her husband.

I don't live out my career, I live my life.

I'll always have this thought of maybe adopting a child for the third one.

I love my husband so much. I love our family. I love our dynamic. I'm proud to be in the relationship that I am because it's based on love. Pure love.

I think I've learned to balance life and career.

I had to get to the point where I just had to embrace carrying the torch for the traditional girls out there. I love representing the traditional black woman.

Becoming a mom has really thrown me for a loop. I figured I had this job in the bag because I took care of my brother and my nephew. No way!

I'm old-school, and that's just how I am. It's in my DNA.

Love is love, and a lot of times, people might be in the situation they're in because they put barriers up. Like, some people only want to date a model or an actor or an athlete. You're only limiting yourself. Open up to what's out there because God made us all.

I love individuals who care about what's going on the world and how we can help make it a better place.
