Tia Mowry Quotations

There's nobody in the world that knows me better than my sister

I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking a lot of water and exercising.

Having a second chance makes you want to work even harder.

I think the best thing about being pregnant would definitely have to be seeing just my belly grow and seeing, like, wow, there is, you know, something inside of me.

The worst part about pregnancy would definitely have to be my nausea. I don't know why it's just called morning sickness because morning sickness never just happened in the morning for me and it's not happening just in the morning for my sister.

The older you get, the more you fight for your own identity and start to live your own life.

I love yoga because not only is it a workout for your body, but also your breathing, which helps release a lot of stress. It really prepares you for the day.

The one advice that I would give just to moms who have a child or a newborn is definitely sleep while the baby sleeps. I've heard that so many times. I never realized how true it really is. If you don't, you'll be walking around like a zombie.

After my pregnancy, I discovered I have an allergy to yeast. Problem is, all the food I love has yeast in it. So I have to relearn how to cook.

I think it's something that needs to be said - that there are interracial marriages out there, and the couples live happy lives, and there's nothing wrong with it.

I think that you may find that Tamera's a little more vibrant and energetic, but I'm much more likely to go up to a person and say, "Hi, I'm Tia, nice to meet you." Whereas Tamera is like... well... she's a little shy. She's down to earth. I'm more extroverted and she's more introverted when meeting people.

Money comes and goes. When you pass away it's about what you've done to make this world a better place.

I would have to say I was an excellent student. I was the type to always do my homework and study when I needed to. I never really partied or did anything like that.

I loved getting tutored and having that one-on-one attention that you sometimes do not get in regular school.

Sleep is very precious to me. I love to sleep.

The coolest thing is that my sister and I, you know, we've done what a lot of people have not been able to do. Which is to have our own careers, together.

When I grew up I always wanted to act. Also, I wanted to be either a lawyer or a doctor. However, when I got to college and realized what those occupations entailed, I changed my mind real quick.

People always say you never know love until you have your own child and all of that is true.

I feel, you know, empowered because I gave life. I have a son now. I feel like I'm stronger.

I'm so obsessed and involved with my son.

I'm very structured. I like planning things out. I get frustrated when they don't go according to plan.

My house is completely organized from my closets to my drawers.

Before becoming a mom, I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now, those days are far and between. So when I have an hour, it's all about the mani and pedi.

Doing reality TV is a lot harder than I thought because I come from the world of [scripted] television where everything is thought out and you know what's going to happen, your lines, what your wardrobe is going to be, etc. But with reality, it's very spontaneous and the cameras are around for 12 hours a day.

Motherhood has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has taught me a lot about myself, about the things I'm great at, and the things I need to work on.

I do feel like the world is a better and happier place now that my son is here. That's so cliche, but it's true. I just have a new perspective; I'm more driven. Also, the thing that stands out to me is that I'm not as selfish. Before you have a child, you're doing everything for yourself. But now it's about what's best for him, and I'm enjoying that shift.

I think my secret would have to be just being true to who I am and just being myself.

I'm very authentic, I think, and what I mean by that is whatever roles that I do take on, I'm really passionate about it.

I feel like art imitates life and life imitates art.

I'm pretty busy: I'm a working mom and I know a lot about having a hectic schedule, but I think what's really important to me and what's on the top of that list is just making sure that my family stays healthy, especially during flu season.

I think a lot of people see the flu as a common cold, but it's not: it's a serious respiratory illness that could lead to hospitalization and the young are extremely vulnerable.

It’s disgusting that some focus on looks. I brought a beautiful child into this world.

The most challenging obstacle I've had to overcome was my endometriosis diagnosis. Besides the physical pain that I had to endure, I had to completely change my perspective on food. It was a huge challenge to have to change the way I'd eaten for so long.

Optimism is a huge help when it comes to health.

...make time for one another. Don't forget about those date nights. Put on a sexy dress and some sexy high heels and have a great night and enjoy each other. Also, incorporate your husband. Get him involved and let him know how important he is with taking care of your joy.

Happiness is a choice. Choose to be happy.

Nobody's life is perfect and in the grand scheme of things, life is short. I think it's so important to live life to its fullest and choose to smile.

My family is my biggest inspiration. My son, my husband, and my family inspire me to be better, do better, and live better.
