When I was a child it was very clear what I was allowed to see and what I was not allowed to see and there was no discussion or option or negotiation. Whatever my mom said that's what went down.

It's the best thing ever - I love being a mom. This is my only child. My career was a priority earlier in my life but now my son is definitely the priority.

I was serious about ballet for a long time but my mom got me into tap and jazz and modern and hip-hop and I was one of those over-lessoned children.

Mom worked with autistic children.

I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.

As a mom I understand how important it is to ensure kids start their day right and always make sure my kids have a nutritious breakfast. One in five U.S. children live in homes where food is not always available which is why I partnered with Kellogg's on their 'Share Your Breakfast' campaign which provide breakfasts to kids in need.

My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy very reserved kind of child. But obviously something changed!

I suddenly had this really mad desire to have an affair with a woman. I was divorced. I was childless. I figured there's got to be one more way to really tick off my mom.

Death can't be so bad if mom went through it. It makes it easier for the child to follow.

When you're a mom and you have three children nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.

When I was a child I wanted to be an actor but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So I got the braces.

I love kids and children and I love being a mom.

I want to make my music and be a happy woman a good wife a good mom and one day hopefully have a child of my own.

Sure my childhood was unusual. All these eccentric wild people frequented our home: rock stars drag queens models bikers freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment.

I had such a great mom and I know that I'd never be that mom. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in children and teaching and writing.

I was brought up as an only child and we were very close. But when I was 14 we got evicted. We came home to a padlock and I looked up at my mom and she was crying and there was nothing to do.

My mom had me when she was 16 and I was an only child which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn't miss that my father wasn't around.

I always wanted to be a young mom but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.

Postpartum depression is a very real and very serious problem for many mothers. It can happen to a first time mom or a veteran mother. It can occur a few days... or a few months after childbirth.

Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice lust and drinking that was all about me.

My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood you know what I mean but it made me strong.

We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult she's not paying attention anymore.

There is nothing better than being a parent. It is the most challenging job one could ever ask for. I love being a mom and I love being a friend to my children as well.
