I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well, obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.

People ask me if I ever see my father and I say yes, because he puts in the effort. He calls all the time to tell us he's proud of us.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.

I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.

My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.

I hope to work with kids any way possible.

I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
