Christina Milian

I know that my dad not being in my life made a huge impact on me.

I've always felt a certain guilt to have them labeled as 'Christina's sisters' or, 'That's Christina's mom' but them looking for the respect to be named Elizabeth and Danielle and Carmen.

My mom was a cheerleader and had me as a teenager. I remember her giving me some pom-poms and teaching me how to do some splits when I was 3 or 4.

From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It's been quite an evolution.

I like a family guy. He must be fun, must like to go out, and has to respect his mom... my family is very important, so it should be likewise for him.

I've been a fan of 'Rocky Horror'... my mom let me see it at a really early age.

My mom has gone out of her way in her personal life. She's been with me on the road. She's had to deal with people giving her the 'that's the mom' and arguing. Just little things as a businesswoman.

When I go home, I still have to clean my room; I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes.

As a mom, that's at the forefront of everything in my mind, so I'm always trying to balance, whether it's bringing Violet to work or, the second I am done working, getting home to her.

I'm happy that I took time off to become a mom and raise my daughter properly and build a bond between the two of us.

At the end of the day, I'm Violet's mom, and I want the best for her.

Violet speaks Spanish and understands it. She loves Cuban food! My mom is very good at teaching her about our culture, whether it be the food or Spanish or explaining to her that she's Cuban.

My mom and I always had a great bond. It was always a natural friendship bond since early on. My mom was 18 when she had me.

If there's an inkling of abuse, I have to move on. Even jealousy - seems cute it first, but if they're getting in my head, it's not right for me. It's okay to be alone. It's okay to be single. The right thing will come along.

Once upon a time, the homemaker was just Mom, but now we've evolved and come to a place where we're celebrating grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads - all the people that keep it safe and clean for our kids - and the overall health for ourselves so we can continue to function and do the variety of things we all do.

My biggest lesson I've learned about love is to keep on loving. Love is love it's amazing. It's fine. It hurts. It's probably one of the best experiences in life.

I would just love to do something where I'd have to train and work really hard and do one of those types of action movies, which a lot of women are doing now.

I had actually been on tour in Japan and I had my own world tour that I was doing. I was used to doing a show for an hour, so I was always learning choreography.
