My sister Jennifer is an Emmy winning journalist and mother of three amazing girls. She brings an exceptional dedication to her job her family and her community and has been a role model of mine for many many years. I'm extremely proud of her.

We start 'The Butler' in June and that's incredibly exciting for me because I get to work with the amazing Forest Whitaker again. It's a phenomenal script and a great great role - I play his son. Oprah Winfrey is his wife and my mother. My character is a radical civil rights activist.

Being a mother is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me in my life.

I think it's very empowering to be able to have a career and to be a mother. It gives you an amazing sense of self.

I seriously love to cook... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta Cavatelli and Ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something.

When you're a stay-at-home mother you have to pretend it's really boring but it's not. It's enriching and fulfilling and an amazing experience. And then when you're a working mother you have to pretend that you feel guilty all day long.

I was blessed because I come from a family where they knock you down before you float away. I have a lot of brothers who just make sure we have our feet on the ground and my mom is a rock star. She is an amazing mother.

My mother is the coolest most amazing person I know.

I'd love to own a bakery at some point. My grandmother could help me run it - she is an amazing baker! I'd also love to do a cookbook.

My mother encouraged it so much. She was so supportive. Even if as a kid I would do the dumbest trick which now that I look back on some things she would love it she would say that's amazing or if I'd make the ugliest drawing she would hang it up. She was amazing.
