Mom claimed that I could carry a tune at 2 or 3 years of age. Maybe she was a little prejudiced.

If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has then I will have done good by this life.

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.

My mom she is the most unbelievable mom that you could ever have in your entire life and she's always with me on everything. The most I've ever been away from her is two days. I love her more than anybody could ever know.

When I was 15 I worked at a dry cleaner because I wanted Abercrombie & Fitch jeans. My mom told me I could have $20 jeans not $70 jeans unless I was willing to work for them. So I did!

My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little.

My mom loved rock 'n roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth bluntly directly and without much varnish. I am her son.

I don't want to have kids for like 10 years. I still have a lot to do. I don't even know if I could handle a dog right now. I'm so not ready. Someday I'll be a mom but not until I'm in my 30s.

If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like 'How do we get one of those?' and she was like 'You can't get a dolphin. What are you gonna do like put it in your pool?'

I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can't.

My mother thinks I could have even run a larger company.

I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

I wanted to escape so badly. But of course I knew I couldn't just give up and leave school. It was only when I heard my mom's voice that I came out of my hiding place.

I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet there would be no more wars.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

These people are very unskilled in arms... with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished.

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think because thinking is such hard work.

Of all the men that have run for president in the twentieth century only George McGovern truly understood what a monument America could be to the human race.

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?
