I am an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other.

I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.

When I was a new mom, I used to think that life was going to be balanced, and I strived for that. But life is crazy!

Wigs have always been a part of my life and have become a staple accessory in my closet.

It was such a good time for them and part of their everyday beauty routine.

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I am 42, thank you. I did not want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.

I do not spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review, and she'll forward it to me. She is like my little Internet filter.

Mom never quit on me. My only regret is that she did not live long enough to share some of the money and comforts my work in show business has brought me.

In her whole life Mom never earned more than five or six dollars a week. Being without a husband, it was hard for her to find any place at all for us to live.

That is the hardest thing about being a mom. You want to be cool, and you want them to like you all the time, but you can not always have that. You are gonna have times where you have to say no, and you won't be the most popular person in the house.

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

Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I am one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that is where the best moments come from.

I think my mom put it best. She said, Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.

I love my mom and dad.
