Taking nothing away from Tim Gunn, Robert Best, or any of our other illustrious "Runway" all-stars -- if you ever get the chance to spend 45 minutes on the phone with Laura Bennett, we’re pretty sure it can cure cancer. Laura caught us up on how things are going, her totally gay chidren, and some of her likes and dislikes.

OZ: Hi Laura. So, you’re largely beloved by the gays. Before we go any further, I have to tell you that we’re recording, so if you want to go off the record, you let me know.
I’m pretty outspoken, I don’t really see myself as an “off the record” kinda girl.

OZ: Excellent. So, a lot of our gay friends have said that you’re like the mother we wish we had.
Yeah, I don’t know though. The mother we wish we had? You know, I guess I’m an OK mother. My kids seem to like me OK. I’m not sure, though, what does that mean? When gay guys respect a figure, they see her as a mother figure?

OZ: No. I think it just means we want to go drinking with you.
I know. See, now that, to me, is a more normal response than the whole mother thing, because I didn’t think I was especially mothering on the show.

OZ: Really?
You think I was?

OZ: You definitely had charge of the room.
Well that’s just 'cause everyone else were wimps.
