Even though we were all celebrities to a certain extent, we all looked at each other as family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Actors are seen as celebrities, but they're just real people with families.
Well, being that, at the house and being in the competition, it was very hard to be with family. We couldn't have visitors out of respect for everyone else there. But, being the American Idol, the focus would have been on me.
I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!
My family is very close. I can't say that about many people I meet in Hollywood.
People think in Hollywood there's a family, where everybody gets together talks about stuff and we all know each other, and it's just not that way at all to me.
Our family brings a different amount of - not fame - attention.
When I meet viewers in person, it always seems to be entire family units.
Personally, fame never really played any part in our family life.
My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.
I can't be the big star in the family. We have a family, and we are all equal.
