My parents are wonderful, and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.

I shoplifted. I was about five years old, and I took a candy from a store. We paid for three of them, but I took four, and I went home and cried. My mom took me back, and I paid for the missing piece.

I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn't allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done, you're done with work.

When you think of couponing, you picture a mom cutting coupons out of the back of the newspaper.

I'm a military kid, both parents in the military - Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.

It's fun to play mom. Last I knew I was playing a 17-year-old who graduated.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, 'No, you just have anxiety.'

I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back.

All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun, who does liturgical dance.
