I was a little troublemaker. Always trying to get in trouble, always mischief, like throwing rocks at cars when I was younger, all that kind of stuff.

When I was in high school, I wasn't a troublemaker. I didn't get in fights. I was a good student and I had a lot of friends.

When I was a kid and got in trouble, I'd always say, Mom, I'm in trouble. Well, Mom, I'm in trouble.

I was the bad kid in school. I was usually in trouble.

All of them turned their backs on me at that time because they thought I was a troublemaker.

I'm a mother myself, and sometimes mothers get a bad rap just because they've tried to do their job. Some people have more of a knack for it than others do, but almost all of it falls to, 'My mother's suffocating me.' Whatever.

I was a troublemaking kid.

I became the kind of parent my mother was to me.

My father raised us to step toward trouble rather than to step away from it.

My mother was a powerful influence. She made me toe the line. If I didn't have a perfect report card, she showed her disappointment.
