My mom is very confident and she was always a role model of mine.

My mom put me and my sisters in the water to feel comfortable, to have water safety.

Even in high school, I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say, 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool.

My humanitarian work evolved from being with my family. My mom, my dad, they really set a great example for giving back. My mom was a nurse, my dad was a school teacher. But my mom did a lot of things for geriatrics and elderly people. She would do home visits for free.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.
