I was home-schooled was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one and I never threw hissy fits.

I've always wanted to be an actress ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.

A Modern Mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. A Modern Mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.

When I was a kid and got in trouble I'd always say Mom I'm in trouble. Well Mom I'm in trouble.

My mom always said that if the Protestants catch a Catholic in their church they feed them to the Jews.

My mother smokes me out. We'll get these long periods of me thinking I'm too busy to call her up or e-mail her and she'll send me something. My mom's a real whiner. I love her to death but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish which is a double whammy.

My mom was always pretty supportive. She saw me do plays and she'd always act out the parts I did. My aunt who played a big part in my life was a little bit more reserved because if they don't see you on TV every week they think you must be starving.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls and so people were always knocking on my door and trying to get me out so we could play.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

My goal is to be a household name and when I do that I want to help other girls become models and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye and it's always been a dream of hers.

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.'

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.

My mom always encouraged me it was never weird. She'd look at 'Heavy Metal' and go 'Woo-hoo!'

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?

My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she'll always find the positive in things.

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.

I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.

My mom has always said that if I get a big head she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it.

I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.

I've always wanted to be a mom.

Mom always tells me to celebrate everyone's uniqueness. I like the way that sounds.

My house has always been like everyone's house. You walk in you're a part of the family no matter who you are what celebrity status you are everyone is treated the same - with love from my mom.

My mom she's still always there for me. Always.

I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.
