My mother. I’ll try not to cry, she has been a constant source of inspiration in my life and provided well for me as a young person. You know it’s funny, she just turned 80, so on New Year’s day, my mother’s birthday is on New Year’s day, and I gave a toast and I said two things. I said how she is an inspiration and a blessing.

Nervous
