Ashley Tisdale has admitted that her mother was her main role model while growing up.

The Aliens In The Attic star confessed that it was her parent who inspired her the most during her childhood.

"I never really looked up to celebrities when I was young," she told Showbiz Spy. "My mum is very confident and she was always a role model of mine."

Tisdale also credited her mum for giving her the attitude and discipline she shows towards her work today.

"I definitely work hard at stuff. I never give up on things. If I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna go 100% into it - just like my mum," she added.
