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.
I showed my mom the movie then I told her the movie got bought and that it was gonna be shown in theatres and be on video. Everyone was really psyched about it. Everyone in my little town of hounds started to call me movie star.
Before I was a mom I used to think that parents who worried about their kids watching MTV were just clueless. Now that I'm a mom I see what the fuss was all about!
Becoming a mom made me more contentious about expressing my true taste.
Before becoming a mom I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now those days are far and between. So when I have an hour it's all about the mani and pedi.
I have a very close relationship with my mom and I'm able to talk to her about anything.
My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make listening being objective and open-minded and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.
We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But when I was around 12 my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'
President Obama likes to talk about the Buffett Rule. Well here's a Buffett Rule that all Americans should be able to support: mom and pop businesses should not pay a higher tax rate than Fortune 500 corporations like Warren Buffett's.
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.
What mom cares about most is that I'm happy healthy and enjoying my life.
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.
I care so passionately about improving the quality of life for women and girls not just here in the United States but internationally as well. I am a single mom and I raised a daughter who is now a young adult.
Growing up my mom was very strict about how I dressed and how I behaved and I said to myself that I wasn't going to be like that. But now I know I'm going to be exactly like my mom. I'm going to be worse!
My mother kept asking me 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it so mom started hounding me more.
The problem with me is anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.
We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.
