I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.

I've never had a divorce but I've seen so many of my friends my sister my family go through that stuff so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow so I'm able to kind of express it or their joy.

The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them.

I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!

I consider my mom and all my sisters my friends.

Both within the family and without our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family but once the sisters are grown it becomes the strongest relationship.

We're reclaiming America and restoring honor. I believe we do that with faith with hope with charity and honoring our brothers and our sisters as we honor each other.

I was in fashion school my brother has a law background and my sister-in-law had worked in production but none of us had a proper fashion business education.

I'm sure everything has a bearing on what I'm doing. My family is a lower-middle-class family there's lots of children seven brothers two sisters grew up together fighting with each other went to school. My mother went to school up to 4th grade. My father went to school up to 8th grade. So that's about the education level we had in the family.
