My goal is to be a household name and when I do that I want to help other girls become models and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye and it's always been a dream of hers.

We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But when I was around 12 my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

But my mom was a pianist and she taught piano out of her house. I was just so excited being a little kid and having all these other kids come to my house twice a week. I thought it was a big party.

My mom is this liberal feminist Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.

Miami Beach - that's where I grew up in a middle-class Jewish family led by my maternal grandfather. Me my great-grandmother - a Holocaust survivor who was my roommate - my grandparents my mom and her brother all shared a four-bedroom house.

I got a family house for everybody to live in - my mom my sisters and I. And I made sure that it has a separate apartment downstairs for myself. Family is more important than anything. We don't come from any money. So once I get them settled in in a nice house then I'll branch out and see if I can get something else.

My house has always been like everyone's house. You walk in you're a part of the family no matter who you are what celebrity status you are everyone is treated the same - with love from my mom.

I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house.

My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house so I'd catch bits and pieces of films.

Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me read with me read with me. It was wonderful.

My friends and I would get up early and take our horses through the national forest. My mom was very free. It was always 'Out of the house!' There was no watching television on weekends.

My mom lived by herself with two kids. Sacrifice was the name of the game at our house.

I remember getting this scrapbook that this girl made that I actually gave to my mom to hold onto because she has a 'Twilight' shrine in their house in Florida. It was just this scrapbook of me starting with 'Twilight ' and the whole progression of me and my career throughout that and other stuff that I had done in between.

When I moved out of my mom's house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else.

I remember when I was 11 I told my mom 'One day I'm going to buy you a house.' And she said 'Boy don't you be making promises you can't keep.' I was like: 'No Ma it's not a promise. I'm going to buy you a house one day.'

My mom insisted on multigrain bread and never allowed soda in the house.

Mom ran the house so we grew up Portuguese.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

My mom is at my house every day and she nags me about everything especially hygiene.

My mom decorated with lots of antiques. I never liked it when I was a little girl - I wanted to live in a modern house. But now I love it.

While civilization has been improving our houses it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.

Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house the marriage and sometimes what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: I do my half. I do half of his half and the rest doesn't get done.
