My mom was a ventriloquist and she always was throwing her voice. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father.

Growing up my whole life my mom was telling me how incredible and special I was and that I was going to change the world. I think it's important for girls to know that they can change the world that they do have an impact.

If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up I liked Dr. Seuss.

Growing up my ideals were Barbra Streisand Cher and my mom.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.
