My mom's never been married. I've never even seen my mom kiss a dude.

If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up, I liked Dr. Seuss.

I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.

When I got into junior high school, that's when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.

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.'
