My mom always said that if the Protestants catch a Catholic in their church they feed them to the Jews.

My mother smokes me out. We'll get these long periods of me thinking I'm too busy to call her up or e-mail her and she'll send me something. My mom's a real whiner. I love her to death but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish which is a double whammy.

My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did. My aunt who played a big part in my life was a little bit more reserved because if they don't see you on TV every week they think you must be starving.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls and so people were always knocking on my door and trying to get me out so we could play.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

My goal is to be a household name and when I do that I want to help other girls become models and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye and it's always been a dream of hers.

We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But when I was around 12 my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'

As a mom I always feel I have to protect them. I talk about them because they are the most important things in my life but they are private people. I won't use them for my own press.

My mom always encouraged me it was never weird. She'd look at 'Heavy Metal' and go 'Woo-hoo!'

I've always been a writer because I've always been a student. My mom's a retired professor so I come from a very academic background. I love writing you know?
