My mom always taught me to be sweet and polite and cross my legs because it's what the guys like. Actually they like a raunchy girl once in a while.

I always had an interest in fashion because my mom is a celebrity fashion stylist. I grew up being on set or in showrooms.

I'm not blaming my mom for my life because I am responsible for me and nobody can change me or ruin me easier than I can.

I know this is kind of corny but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas where I came from.

I think of myself as a fairly attractive girl and always have thanks to my mom. I was brought into this world thinking I was gorgeous because my mother was extremely devoted to this notion.

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.

It would be great to do another television show that was a multi-camera because the hours are so wonderful and you can be a good mom at the same time. The problem is there aren't a lot of multi-camera shows that I personally like. My aesthetic is more geared toward single-camera shows.

My mom's collard greens. No one else in the world can make them like hers. I'm not just saying that because she's my mom. She's got some Mississippi secret. I could seriously eat them every day.

I always tell people I'm a better swimmer because I'm a mom and a better mom because I'm swimmer.

Two weeks ago at the U.S. Amateur my mom caddied and that is kind of a different feeling because she's your mom and you have to listen to her. It was really comfortable having my mom there but it's also really relieving and comfortable to have someone that knows the course off their hat really.

I was a big fan of 'The Smurfs' growing up even though by default - my mom used to force me to watch because she was a 'Smurfs' fan.

In fact my mom always told me because I was the daughter of an Army officer born overseas in Paris France that under the Constitution she believed that I could never run for president.

In third grade I was taking tap-dance lessons and about six weeks before the recital I wanted to quit. My mom said 'No you're going to stay with it.' Well I did it and I was bad too! But my parents never let their kids walk away from something because it was too hard.

My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.

My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out but I didn't like it at all. I'm more comfortable in the world that I'm in I grew up in it so when I get around normal kids in regular high school I don't know what to do. I feel more secure in an adult environment.

I played with dolls until I was 15. My mother encouraged it because my older sister got married when she was 15 so Mom thought that the longer I stayed with dolls the better.

My father left... but I tell my mom - and I told my mom this when I was a kid - I said 'You know what Mom? Good thing he left because you're a strong woman.'

My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy very reserved kind of child. But obviously something changed!

For me being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.

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.

When I was 12 I cried to my mom because I never got my letter to Hogwarts.

My mom she's a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year starting at age 30.

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.

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.
