I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge because my mom... lives there man and she loves being in the kitchen.

I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old.

I wanted to have a personal life that I fully inhabited not because I am such a great mom but for me.

My mom would give me a piece to play but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years then it just started soaking in.

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.

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?

I have many valentines. My mom and my sister and my directors. I got calls from all of them. And my friends. I respect what Valentine's Day stands for because it is about love.

My mom calls me an older soul because growing up she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom chasing understanding.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in children and teaching and writing.

I'm somebody who doesn't work with a stylist. I'll be honest with you I'm a mom and it's just not something I want to put money toward because it's expensive to have somebody who helps dress you and I feel like I have to pay for preschool and so many things... so I don't have a stylist.
