Growing up, my mom was very strict about how I dressed and how I behaved, and I said to myself that I wasn't going to be like that. But now I know I'm going to be exactly like my mom. I'm going to be worse! Nicole Scherzinger badlybehavedress share on social

With each success I think, 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!' Nicole Scherzinger arrivebehaveenjoy share on social

I come from a strong religious background, and I had a very conservative upbringing. So I was nervous, and confused. Here I was wanting to be Whitney Houston, so why did I have to dress in lingerie to do that? I didn't get it. Nicole Scherzinger backgroundconfuseconservative share on social
