A pillow is a large cushion support for the head or other parts of the body, usually used while sleeping in a bed, or for the body as used on a couch or chair. A pillow can be a cloth case stuffed with down, feathers, or foam rubber.
There are also throw pillows (also called toss pillows), which are pillows that are purely decorative and not designed for support or comfort. A cushion is a soft bag filled with air or padding like feathers or foam rubber. In the United Kingdom, these types of pillows are called a cushion, with the word pillow used for pillows on a bed. In Spanish, a pillow is called almohada.
The word pillow comes from Middle English pilwe, from Old English pyle (akin to Old High German pfuliwi) and from Latin pulvinus. The first known use of the word pillow was before 12th century.
Pillows were originally used mainly by wealthy men in Asia.[citation needed] They were also found in Ancient Egyptian tombs.[citation needed] The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques led to the development of pillows as an art form, with highly decorated pillows becoming prized commodities first in China and Persia and later in Medieval Europe. In Tudor England, pillows became widely-used; it was believed only women giving birth and weak men should use one. The Industrial Revolution saw the mass production of decorated textiles and decorated pillows. Traditional Chinese pillows are often hard boxes made from stone, wood, metal, or porcelain instead of stuffed fabric. Some ancient Egyptians slept on pillows made out of stone.[unreliable source?]

Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is a script supervisor originally from Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia. She has an older brother, Cameron Stewart, and an adopted brother, Taylor. Stewart attended school until the seventh grade and then continued her education by correspondence. She has since completed high school.
Her whole family all worked behind the camera and Stewart thought she would become a writer/director, but never considered being an actor. "I never wanted to be the center of attention – I wasn't that 'I want to be famous, I want to be an actor' kid. I never sought out acting, but I always practiced my autograph because I love pens. I'd write my name on everything." Stewart's acting career began at the age of eight, after an agent saw her perform in her elementary school's Christmas play. After a year of auditioning, Stewart's first role was a small nonspeaking part in the Disney Channel original film The Thirteenth Year. Then, she had another part in the film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas as the "ring toss girl". She subsequently appeared in the independent film The Safety of Objects, in which she played the tomboy daughter of a troubled single mother (Patricia Clarkson). Stewart also played a tomboy in the film Panic Room, playing the diabetic daughter of a divorced mother (Jodie Foster). She was nominated for a Young Artist Award for her performance.

9-6, Richie Rich, Rame Royal
(Baby relax relax yeah)
When I wake up in the morning, first I yoke out
Then I [Incomprehensible] pimp, so I can smoke out
Good green opening up my third eye for sure
As I contemplate on which spot I'd like to go today
Damn, should I CDB again, I feel like loccin'
Fallin' through every bomb spot in Oakland
Said me one got the good but I just can't trip
Sky ball twamp twamp for a piece of crip
[Incomprehensible] that's the place to go
And my partner on the corner got the sack for sure
'84, I'm quick to look for booty hook
And if I'm fienin' I need to see beamin'
'Cos, aah, them young brothers smoke the same way I smoke
But now all day I'm comin' up short
Uh, I hope the town still love me
For some reason and my deceasing and my zoot's ain't fluffy
I need a pillow
Lay a drop on the pillow
(Yeah baby)
And just relax, relax, relax
('Cos that was made for you)
Lay a drop on the pillow
(Yeah baby)
I'll fly free sack, fly free sack
(Fly free sack)
('Cos that was dove for you)
By chance it might seem strange, many nights I dream
Of trees on the range with branches of light green
Women slumbering get tossed like salad with cucumber
But can't stop me from gettin' lost on the lands of broccoli
High! I shut 'em, close my eyes, cough, too much spirit goes
The cloud nine where I'm a lyrical wiz
Magical like Willow wit automatic flowin' pillows
Get rolled in a bliz and consumed, that's how Rame Royal is
In my room at the villo, sun shines through blue blinds
On the window, lettin' me know it's time to go back to reality
Oakland, Cali and a sack of indo left on the bed
Next to my rizzy's head
Fulfillin' wishes, I'm fillin' phillies, Vegas and swishes
Wit twenty reefers, sticky weed, minty and delicious
All I need and can Axe for, a twamp to crunch
Probably won't want another blunt til lunch
Lay a drop on the pillow
(Yeah baby)
And just relax, relax, relax
(I know, I know, I know the sack was one for you!)
Lay a drop on the pillow
(Yeah baby)
I'll fly free sack, fly free sack
(Fly free sack)
('Cos that was dove for you)
Fell through Sophia's but didn't see her
Now I'm convinced that it's on when I fall through this red fence
I shoulda flipped the whole thang when I had the chance
But that done broke my back like a bald bozack
On a late night, I lurk for sure and got a lot of dough
For the first cat with the platinum sacks
And, naw, it ain't a jack, you can hold my scraps
But pull a move and catch a lump to the back behind the sack
Richie Rich might walk a country mile, smilin' all the way long
Wit dreams of pullin' bongs, writin' bomb songs
Buzzin' with my cousin at the villo
Stressin' off a pillow
Lay a drop on the pillow
(Yeah baby)
And just relax, relax, relax
(I know, I know, I know the sack was one for you!)
Lay a drop on the pillow
(Yeah baby)
I'll fly free sack, fly free sack
(Fly free sack)
(I know this sack was wrong for you)
Yeah baby!
Ooh yeah
Here we are gettin' night endeavor
Don't worry 'cos it's gonna get better
I roll a fat one for you, yeah
Break it down 'cos it ain't no startin'
Put a drop on the every bodin'
