My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.

My mom used to make delicious aloo ke parathe, and would give me two for school lunch.

My mom didn't let me play tackle until I was in high school. She didn't want me to get hurt.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

My mom dragged me by my ear to Catholic school because I was a cutup and thought I needed to see the nuns.

I started wearing Ugg when I was, like, 13 or 14, in high school, and my mom got me a pair for Christmas one year.

Largely, I began skating because I wanted stuff to do outside of school. My mom decided to put me into figure skating.

My mom is really dedicated to me. She drives me to school and skating, wakes up for me, and I'm just really appreciative.

My mom put me into a performing arts elementary school back in Cincinnati, so I started studying acting in school when I was seven.

My mom is a translator for the school district in Delaware. She'd hear these different stories from working with families there. Those stories stuck with me.

Fridays after school, especially when the weather was lousy, Mom would take me to the library. She'd let me check out whatever I wanted, and I checked out a lot.

When I was 7, I came up with the idea of 'charm socks.' My mom would take me to buy bags of plastic charms, we would sew them on frilly white socks, and I sold them at school.

I was the child who would leave school and take her clothes off the second I got into the house. I made my mom buy me lingerie when I was 5 years old. I was a sicko. My mother must have been mortified.

I decided that I wanted to be an artist in middle school, and although my mom wasn't fully on board with me becoming a trainee, she really supported me throughout the years and is very proud of me now.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said, What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

Ever since I was a little kid, I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school, but I kept wearing it.

I got into theatre kinda late by some standards, and I sorta fell into it. I had broken my ankle playing football, and my high school was doing a production of 'Barnum.' I could juggle, and my mom really wanted to get me out of the house. She said since I wasn't playing football and couldn't wrestle, maybe I should audition for the show.
