My parents met in the theatre, and I thought that was so romantic. My dad was a scenic designer and my mom was a dancer, and that’s how they met; they met in the theatre.
I used to work at a hotel. I was the order-taker for room service. My mom worked at the hotel as an accountant.
My mom gave me a Chanel dress when I was younger. I felt special. I think anybody feels special in Chanel.
I started piano when I was four. My mom taught me. And then I went to Manhattan School of Music during high school, like every Saturday. And then I went to Berklee for college, in Boston.
I had two parents who were doctors, and my mom was valedictorian in multiple classes.
My mom used to work two jobs to take care of me, my brothers, and my sisters. She worked hard to take care of us. Back in the day my mom was actually a dental assistant.
I need that hug from my mom. She’s the Latin mother that hugs you and says all these sweet things to you in Spanish. It’s just comforting. She also gives me that strength.
My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently.
My mom has obviously had a powerful influence on my life, and her voice can describe certain things that I couldn’t see in myself.
I remember my mom saying, ‘I will take you to every audition, I will support you, but the minute you stop caring about it, I will stop.’
I’ll wear my mom jeans in public that haven’t been tailored ‘just so’ yet, just because they feel good.
When I talk to my mom and dad, and I’m in Paris, I’m like, ‘Can you believe it?’ It’s ridiculous. I have a serious love for what we do. It’s not something we take for granted.
I got to see my mom do ‘Long Day’s Journey’ in London, which was really beautiful.
My mom and my dad was the best example of unconditional love I could see as a kid. I’ve known it my whole life. Interactions, kissing, hugging – it definitely wasn’t the fake love.
When I was young, all the books were about a Mary Jane and the football player and the prom and ending up with the quiet guy and making your mom happy.
My mom and her whole side of the family, they all from Compton.
My mom, dad, grandparents, we all do voices.
Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen and I was three.
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
Working with Angela Bassett is by far the best. I’ve watched and admired her for years. I’m very intrigued by her work. She’s so cool. I still call her ‘Mom’ when I see her.
I am completely turning into my mom. Me, trying to be stern, is her. Or when I make silly voices. My mom always uses weird voices if she’s talking to a kid or a dog. I’m the same person – completely my mother.
I spent a lot of time drawing and writing little comic books, and my mom was a rapper, so I would steal her instrumentals.
The thing was, at a young age, my mom and my grandma always tried to keep me out of the streets as much as they could, so they put me in a private school when I was super young.
When I first got to Brooks Brothers, my mom told me she remembered how upsetting it was trying to find professional clothes in the eighties. Suits would either be over-stylized or frumpy, so she said, ‘Make sure it’s tailored properly.’
In ‘Batman Beyond,’ Terry McGinnis has the responsibility of protecting Gotham City, as well as maintaining a home and social life. He’s also got a single mom and a pesky younger brother, which young kids will relate to.
