My mother never liked Mother's Day. She thought it was a fake holiday dreamed up by Hallmark to commodify deep sentiments that couldn't be expressed with a card.

We didn't have a lot of money growing up, so my mom didn't buy a lot of extras, like sweet things.

My parents were music lovers and collectors. It was around.

I didn't want to do anything my mother wanted me to do so surely I wasn't going to sing for her.

My mom did costumes for the Pointer Sisters.

The only show my mother could afford to take me to when I was growing up was 'Cats', for my birthday.

My parents were not theatrical at all.

Mother was actually a great doer and organizer. All the special occasions were directed by mother.

My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old.
