At first I could not believe what I was reading. I got up from my seat and walked away, talking to myself that I may have found my mom.
My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.
Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom’s an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life.
Losing my mom at such a young age had a profound effect on my life.
They very seldom let me lose my cool. They made me like I was Polly Perfect, which was ridiculous so that when I bump into kids on the street they’d say ‘I wish my Mom were like you.’
My dad was Jewish. My mom is not. So I was not raised anything.
Growing up I always shopped at Victoria’s Secret with my mom and saw Angels like Gisele and Karolina Kurkova in the windows.
My mom taught me to go after my dreams. I have this faith in myself that I must have gotten from her.
When I was young, I had two older sisters, and since I was the youngest in my family, my mom took me around with her all the time. I was forever with her when she was having coffee in the middle of the afternoon with her three sisters. And they would talk about men. I absorbed a lot of that.
I’m a ’70s mom, and my daughter is a ’90s mom. I know a lot of women my age who are real computer freaks.
