She said: 'I was always super proud of my mom. Her job always mattered a lot to her. She's a really hard worker.
'And I think it's part of the reason why I've always been able to dream so big is because of her success. It made me believe that the sky's the limit.'
Margaret also opened up about her relationship with husband Jack Antonoff, who she married in August last year.
She admitted that it had been love at first sight and that she knew from the start that she would tie the knot with the music producer one day.
She recalled: 'I'd met Jack probably two weeks before, but I was head-over-heels in love right away. I had a sure, knowing feeling that he was my husband.
'I was talking about Jack and said to her [Chanel Creative Director, Virginie Viard], "I think I've just met a man I'm going to marry. And, Virginie, if I'm right, will you make me my wedding dress?" I said, "Give me two years..."
Margaret added: 'I've always wanted to be married. I was that girly girl who would be on a walk with my sister fantasising about our weddings, or what our husbands would be like.
'But I don't think I would have had as much of a big wedding if it weren't for Jack. I wanted it to be big with him.

'It was, kind of, Jack needs a big wedding. And it seemed like it'd be more fun. He's got so many great friends and a huge family, too.
'I think [weddings] are almost as much for your family and your friends as it is for you. It was sweet and special and just the most magical day of my life.'
Margaret and Jack, who is known for being a long time producer and collaborator of Taylor Swift, wed in a lavish ceremony in New Jersey in August.
The couple were joined by many celebrity guests including Taylor, Lana Del Rey, Cara Delevingne, Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz.
Speaking about the raucous reception party, Margaret admitted that she ruined her Chanel Mary Jane shoes from dancing.
She said: 'The after party was at this bar. And I think the dance floor can't have been very clean, because the shoes are wrecked.
'But I love the way they look. I mean, we almost did a bit of an Amy Winehouse number on them.
'That's what they remind me of now; those amazing beaten ballet flats that she'd walk around in. But mine are just from one night of dancing.'

Gushing about married life, Margaret quipped that she loved the 'security' of being tied together with Jack.
She said: 'I think we've kind of been operating like a married couple since the beginning, so it wasn't a drastic change, but I really love the security of it. It would be hard for him to disentangle himself from me. I'm glad the law is involved.'
It comes after the star shared her plans to have children with Jack one day in the future, as she gushed that she had found 'her person'.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, she said: 'I am so happy that I found my person. And it’s real. It’s amazing. It’s the best feeling in the world. I’m so excited and so at ease all at once...
'I just want to do everything with Jack. One day I want kids, and I'm not there yet, and I want to keep doing movies. And that's about all I know.'
She added: 'Until about a month before I met Jack, I never had any furniture. I would always have these s***** little apartments and move around from one place to another with a mattress on the floor and an Ikea lamp.
'I never made a home at all. I didn’t care; I cared about movies. I would use my sister’s basement in L.A. as a spot to keep my things.
