I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough you will be a healthy person. That is if you write what you need to write as opposed to what will make money or what will make fame.

I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say for the money - has turned himself into a slave.

If you don't have integrity you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world but if you are not a moral and ethical person you really have nothing.

It would be great to do another television show that was a multi-camera because the hours are so wonderful and you can be a good mom at the same time. The problem is there aren't a lot of multi-camera shows that I personally like. My aesthetic is more geared toward single-camera shows.

I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.

I hope that through my work artists will take some chances break some rules and make art that comes from inside of them. I would like to be remembered as a kind person a great Mom and a bit unruly - in a good way!

My mom is a very warm typical sort of Jewish-mother type. And my dad has a somewhat um different personality.

For me being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.

I wanted to have a personal life that I fully inhabited not because I am such a great mom but for me.

For me just being how old I am I know I don't want to be a single mom. I really would rather make it a two-person job. But I've also come to terms with not being a mother at all. I'm actually really good with either direction that my life can take as being a valid experience.

It's hard either way at home or on the bus I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.

I'm a competitive person and it is in my nature to try hard in every match I play. The only time I'm not competitive is when I'm playing against my mom.

I know that I'm getting the real deal with my mom. I know that she's telling it like it is. She's proud of me when I've earned it and she's disappointed in me when I've earn that. She's really my spectrum on where I am as a person.

I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me I've always been a kinder better person awake than sleep-deprived!

My parents are wonderful and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person.

Imagine my surprise when after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy.

I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point but that's the work of God.

President Obama's fight for rural America is personal. He was raised by a single mom and grandparents from Kansas. He hails from a farming state Illinois.

I'm ridiculous in my oversharing my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person.

I don't drink and I don't smoke. It's a personal preference. My mom has never drunk or smoked. I look up to my mom.

I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.

My parents are wonderful and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person. She goes completely on her feelings of things on her intuition and so she instilled that in my brothers and I.

My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven's mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.
