I've been an atheist since I was nine years old. And my mom is really religious so we have a strange relationship. But if my mother was right what would be the reason that the gods could let anything bad happen in the world?

When I was six years old my friend was auditioning for 'Annie ' and I decided I wanted to audition with her. My mom was worried I would fall flat on my face because I'd never opened my mouth to sing so she sent me to vocal lessons. I did the audition and fell in love with the entire process of a show.

My mom put me in dance classes when I was 5 years old.

For the first few years of my life my mom used to cut my hair so there were a lot of bowl-cut hair styles.

Well my mom taught public school music for almost 40 years. And she's about 5 feet - and very mighty. And she would control her kids a lot by giving them the eye or the stare.

When I was 10 years old my mom used to play Tupac while she cleaned the house.

I took piano for many years. I kicked and screamed through all of my lessons but my mom really insisted.

I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.

I still feel like a kid sometimes myself so hard to believe that I'm a mom. Now I'm an adult! It only took 38 years!

I was two years old when my mom put me in mommy and me classes. I always had a lot of energy so it was the perfect fit!
