I get my voice from my mother's side of the family. My mother and my grandmother both had strong voices.

I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

Seeing my mother become very strong and very independent had a huge impact on me.

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

My mother listened to everything I said, carefully - not that what I said was particularly interesting, but I was her daughter.

In terms of whether my mom was influential, I think she instilled a certain way of thinking in me quite early: having a reflective mindset regarding my actions and trying to find the underlying reasons to behavior. I think that's quite helpful when you're trying to understand a character.

My mother had a great voice. Not like mine, not like my sister's, not like my son's - a high soprano voice, but like a bird. I mean, really beautiful.

My mother is extraordinary. She understood me and never tried to hold me back.

My mom, dad, grandparents, we all do voices.
