Amal Clooney's role model might be the same as yours

Even when you're an internationally recognized human rights attorney, you still look up to your mom.

Amal Clooney -- your fave, our fave, George Clooney's fave -- recently spoke at the Texas Conference for Women, where she was asked about her role model by a member of the crowd.

“I think growing up my mother was definitely a role model, she was always a working woman and someone who is independent and cared about her career and cared about being independent but also had balance,” she said, via People. “She never lost her femininity and she believed the balance was important and that is something that stuck with me."

Maybe we all have a little more in common with her than we thought?

Her mom isn't her only role model, however. Clooney mentioned Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor as one of her inspirations, too.

“When I was a junior lawyer she was incredible to watch in action in court, how she had so many cases in her head and firing questions at these lawyers standing before her,” she said. “But then also on the personal side, (she) was just lovely and I was the most junior and irrelevant person in her chamber … and she was very charming and very balanced.”

Clooney also addressed women's rights issues in her address, saying she was planning on lobbying the United Nations to do more to prosecute abuses by ISIS.

“As women, there is a bond that we all share. It’s a bond of shared experience. Experiences that only women go through and struggles that only women face. The worst thing that we can do as women is not stand up for each other. And this is something that we can practice everyday no matter where we are or what we do. Because if we are united, there is no limit to what we can do.”
