My mom kicked me out a couple of weeks before my 18th birthday. I had a job for about six, seven months at a supermarket, and they fired me for being late.
I usually travel with a lot of people, like my dad, mom and sisters.
I love those hockey moms. You know what they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is? Lipstick.
As a single woman, I reap the benefits of being Stifler’s mom.
My dad is a civil engineer, and my mom is a stay-at-home mom. The fact that my parents weren’t really involved in music was kind of good, because it meant that I had something that was private and personal.
My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.
Naturally, people are curious about how my real mom feels about me having a TV mom.
I wanted to get into films, and my parents were against it. I convinced my mom, and finally she convinced my dad. My dad then felt, who best to launch his son than him? So he launched me, and here I am.
I’m definitely saying right now that if I had to face Shaq’s mom at WrestleMania, I will not show up. I’ll be scared. If Shaq shows up, no problem. Shaq’s mom shows up, eh, I don’t know. I think I might get the flu.
My dad always believed in me. He was always kind of, ‘All right, buddy, if that’s what you want to do…’ My mom was always more of a realist.
I ended up going to NYU for film school – close to Pennsylvania – but we talked about what if I went to UCLA or USC, and my mom’s whole world was caving in.
I grew up with the Highwaymen, which was Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Mom and Dad rode rodeo, so country music was always in the house and the car. They threw in some Dolly Parton, too.
I think I can always look back and say my mom and dad would have done this or suggested that in a particular situation. I just really feel blessed to have had them as parents.
I never once doubted that my parents cared about my thoughts and my ideas. And I always, always knew how deeply they loved me. That feeling of being valued and loved, that’s what my mom wants for every child.
My mom is a public school teacher and works with third grade students.
Call it the Tiger Mom effect: In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option.
My mom reminds me that all things are possible.
‘Mom’ is an emotional family drama that’s also thrilling. It’s the story about a mother and a daughter, their emotions, and how their lives change. Being a mother myself helped me understand those emotions better.
When I was 13, my mom checked me into a modeling agency. Then, out of nowhere, they asked me to audition for a TV show, which I did, and I got going from there.
My mom taught me this really great beauty tip. She used to put oil or mayonnaise on the bottom half of her hair before she would shower.
My mom has been calling me Peep my whole life. That’s how I got the name.
I think my mom recognized that I liked people to be happy. I like people to get along. And I like to be a peacemaker. And I liked the church. So she was like, ‘You should be a youth pastor.’
My mom didn’t let me play video games growing up, so now I do. Gaming gives me a chance to just let go, blow somebody up and fight somebody from another dimension. It’s all escapism.
My mom always plays Madonna in the car, so I was kind of familiar with what she was into in the ‘80s.
I’m probably the least harsh on myself, and I try not to scrutinize everything about my body. As a new mom, it is what it is, and we just have to do our best.
