I don't ever want my daughter growing up questioning who she is or her choices. I want her to be a strong, happy individual.

I actually just keep things very professional. I don't need acceptance from anyone but God, so that's just kind of where I focus it all.

I just want women to support each other.

Oh, I definitely feel that women are equal to men. No doubt about that.

Our parents set the moral tone of the family. They expected more of some of us and less of others, but never less than they thought we were capable of.

Mostly, I just like to write music and spend time with my family and friends and jam.

Both my mother and father were very supportive of any career move any of us wanted to make.

The year my mom worked as a secretary at an apparel company in midtown, she would often come home in tears because she had mistakenly called her boss by another coworker's name. 'You know how it is,' my father said, 'they all look the same. It's not your mom's fault. There's just no telling them apart. Same high nose and deep-set eyes.'
