I always come back to blonde. Blondes, really sorry, do have more fun.
I remember begging my mother when she would come to school with the,limo, I would ask her to drop me off a block away from school.
I felt a little insecure about my nose, I asked my mother if I could get,it done, and she was very supportive and that was that.
Comedy is what I do best, the crying, you know dramatic things, that is,not my thing. I do physical comedy so I felt right at home.
When a marriage fails, the story of the relationship changes. The best parts, the parts that made you think getting married was a good idea, fade from memory.
We are not defined by the family into which we are born, but the one we choose and create. We are not born, we become.
I thought that once we were out of the baby stage, parenting would be a breeze.
It was, you know, probably 80 degrees out in L. A.
It would be pretty funny to see a Beverly Hills white girl with mad rap skills.
I want to be a cool mom.
In all honesty, I grew up a certain way. I never had to worry about money. . . that was my reality.
