In fact my mom always told me because I was the daughter of an Army officer born overseas in Paris France that under the Constitution she believed that I could never run for president.

In third grade I was taking tap-dance lessons and about six weeks before the recital I wanted to quit. My mom said 'No you're going to stay with it.' Well I did it and I was bad too! But my parents never let their kids walk away from something because it was too hard.

My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.

My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out but I didn't like it at all. I'm more comfortable in the world that I'm in I grew up in it so when I get around normal kids in regular high school I don't know what to do. I feel more secure in an adult environment.

I played with dolls until I was 15. My mother encouraged it because my older sister got married when she was 15 so Mom thought that the longer I stayed with dolls the better.

My father left... but I tell my mom - and I told my mom this when I was a kid - I said 'You know what Mom? Good thing he left because you're a strong woman.'

My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy very reserved kind of child. But obviously something changed!

For me being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.

Of course I would be depressed sometimes and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist or whatever you want to call it.

When I was 12 I cried to my mom because I never got my letter to Hogwarts.
