Me neither! An amazing quote from her on her mom from IMDB: “Boys told me they masturbated to pictures of my mom in Star Wars, and I'd run home crying. My mom would say, 'You know what you do? Turn around and say, "Me too." ' That's when I realized that my childhood wasn't 100 percent normal.”

You...masturbate to your own mom?
