I’m part Maori. My mum’s Maori, and she raised me. And my grandma, she’s Maori.
A lot of street dudes, you know their grandma go to church every Sunday. A lot of people in the pen, a lot of that come from them running away from that. They seen they grandma always going to church, mama always going to church, but they still struggling. This the reality of some peoples’ life.

I want to have my own kids, I want to raise them and just be a happy grandma.
I started singing in my church choir, and then when I got to middle school, I had the coolest musical theatre director, and we actually did ‘The Wiz’ in seventh grade, and I was Addaperle, and my grandma was like, ‘Why didn’t you audition for Dorothy?’ But I was too nervous for that.
We didn’t have running water. We had to get water from wells, and there was a stint where I lived with my grandma where we had to get water, bring it over to the house. You had to boil the water because you never knew what parasites were in the water.

My mother was a union member. She was a mail carrier, a rural mail carrier. She called herself a ‘postal packin’ grandma’ for a good period of time.
I’ve always been creative – I baked, knitted and crocheted with my mum and grandma.
Grandma played a taste test game with my sister and me when I was 3 years old. She would blindfold us and have us guess what was on the spoon: the first flavors I got were strawberry – then coffee!
I like all the families in the U.K. But what I like about the idea of the royal family is… they seem like they’re well educated and there’s something admirable about them. And the Queen… she reminds me of my grandma.
I grew up with singers. My father’s mother sang opera. My dad was a big band singer. I can’t remember a time there wasn’t music in the house, so I grew up listening to great songwriters – George Gershwin, Cole Porter – and my grandma was playing opera for me before I was 3.
I miss my parents. But still, my granddaughter, my daughter, my grandma, you know, so it’s very important for me. You lost your parents, but a new baby comes. It’s like the cycle of fashion.
If I didn’t ever model? I would be back in Kansas. I would probably end up being a pastry chef. My grandma taught me how to make a pie.
Pressure cookers are relatively inexpensive, they’re in every kitchen store, your grandma probably had one, but a lot of people don’t. A pressure cooker is interesting because by pressurizing the vessel, you’re able to cook much hotter than the boiling point of water, and still have water be present.
The American Dream is simple: it’s the unwavering belief that anybody – you, me, your friends, your neighbors, grandma Verna – can become exceedingly successful, and all it takes is the right amount of work, ingenuity, and determination.

My grandma did opera singing for the better part of her life; she used to sing all over the place. My grandpa was a sax player, and he used to travel all over the place, too.
That’s what made me a man, having to fend for myself and being in a situation where there is no dad, no grandma, and no mom to help you. It changed the person that I am today.
The one thing I could do with my eyes closed is my Grandma’s schnecken.
I feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There’s no one really in my family – my grandma is probably the closest – who loves makeup like I do.
My family has always been very close. Ever since I was a kid, everybody was always together, including my grandma. In the mornings, my mom would work, and my grandma would help me get ready and would walk me to school. We were all so close to her.
Every time I see a cardinal, I know my grandmother is with me. This regal, red bird was Grandma’s favorite.
My grandma spelled my name wrong until she died. Like literally, birthday cards, mail, everything.

I kiss grandmas because they’re clean. I haven’t picked anything up from a grandma yet.

In Nigeria, my grandma sold everything – everything – for my mum’s education.
I was actually looking at the poster for ‘Tarzan,’ and I was thinking how abs look so different now. These are not your grandma’s abs. They go so deep and so sharp now.
Being Latina, I’m super close with my family. I love them, and I love spending time with them. I love being at my grandma’s house and eating her food.
I saw Marilyn Manson. He had, like, the platinum grills, and that’s when I got my first ones. And honestly, I didn’t even buy them. My grandma bought those. I paid her back right away, though.
If Charlton Heston can have a constitutional right carry a rifle, why can’t grandma have a constitutional right to health care?
