Discussing her children's engagement with digital culture, she remarked, "The minute you say any new word to them, they look […] any new name, any new—anything! Any new information they want to know what it is and they know they can and so, they’re much more informed."

This observation segued into her concerns about distinguishing reality from online content, to which she affirmatively noted, "And now that they’re a little bit older we have, you know—we try not to like make it such a big thing in our house because [...] their lives are so much more than the fact that we’re their parents in that way [...] that we’re famous."
