"I do feel like the reason I was put on this Earth is to be a mother, which is why it’s funny for me to end up with such an overwhelming career. Ever since I was a baby, I was always playing house."

The actress explained:

"I did grow up in Kentucky. I was a nanny and babysitter. I always loved children.

"Then again, I’m not even mature enough to buy a house yet. I can’t buy a car. I’m still paying off my Volkswagen."

"It’s really funny. I’ve never had anything like it, where I was like, 'Yeah, this is awesome. Let’s do this all the time.'"

She added:

"We were such good friends. We liked hanging out, hanging out turned to dating.

"There was never that awkward period. We just both liked being around each other so much."
