“I was raised by drag queens, practically...My mother died when I was four-years-old, so I was effectively raised by a bunch of different people. A lot of those people were friends of my sister, Kathleen, who had all these gay friends. She would baby-sit me everyday, and she would take me over to her friend's houses with all kinds of things going on: tucking, and eyebrow drawing, waxing, all sorts of things. I was literally raised by gay men.”
![“~I got pregnant, and I was like, 'Oh God, it worked! Oh no!' Chris [Ivery, her husband] and I were super happy, then I got terrified! Will I know how to do everything right? Of course, nobody does everything right, but as long as your baby is the priority, that's the best you can do.~” quote by Ellen Pompeo](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/99d/ellen-pompeo-10756_baby_i-got-pregnant-and-i-was-like-oh-god-it_131330.jpg)
