Sure, my childhood was unusual. All these eccentric, wild people frequented our home: rock stars, drag queens, models, bikers, freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment.

My mom's been married three times my dad has been married a lot. I didn't really see my dad that much.

I want to make my music and be a happy woman, a good wife, a good mom and one day hopefully have a child of my own.

My dad is a very quick-witted, sarcastic, dry, humorous guy, whereas my mom's very silly, and that side of the family is very musical.

Once my mom passed away, I have nobody to answer to. It's great.

My mom really instilled in me that I'm beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls.

I love kids and children, and I love being a mom.

I was actually the one who decided to move to LA. Mom and I were driving on Sunset Boulevard during one of our trips back to see her family, and I said, 'Can we just stay?' So we did.

I'm a competitive person and it is in my nature to try hard in every match I play. The only time I'm not competitive is when I'm playing against my mom.

One day my dad would say, 'OK, if you want to play tennis I can help you out.' And that's how it started. And I had a goal. I wanted to beat my mom first. And my parents and my brother. And that was the ultimate goal.
