My mom had four kids, one with special needs. She had a full-time job, and she still came home and made dinner for us every night, from scratch. It was amazing.
If I have done anything in life worth attention, I feel sure that I inherited the disposition from my mother.
In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative, to work hard and to do something special. That girl is my mother and she's here tonight. And I just want to say, I love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching me to dream.
My mother ... had a very deep inner spirituality that allowed her to rebuild her life. It's extraordinary that she had such a strong sense of self and such a commitment to the future and such a strong creative sense that she could build new worlds for herself and for us out of the total devastation in her life.
I unapologetically and unabashedly am deeply biased toward my mother.
[My mom] had this amazing attitude in the face of everything, including when she got cancer.
I'm still amazed at how my mother emerged from her lonely early life as such an affectionate and levelheaded woman.
My mother was the one constant in my life. When I think about my mom raising me alone when she was 20, and working and paying the bills, and, you know, trying to pursue your own dreams, I think is a feat that is unmatched.
My mother was a reader, and she read to us. She read us Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when I was six and my brother was eight; I never forgot it.
My parents elected me president of the family when I was 4. We actually had an election every year and I always won. I'm an only child, and I could count on my mother's vote.
I tell my kids, 'I am thinking about you every other minute of my day.'
I believe in the strength and intelligence and sensitivity of women. My mother, my sisters [they] are strong. My mum is a strong woman and I love her for it.
My mother has always been my emotional barometer and my guidance. I was lucky enough to get to have one woman who truly helped me through everything.
My mom [has] always been my hero. Watching her experience something like breast cancer was pivotal, I think in my whole family's life and experience. She is one strong lady.
She raised us with humor, and she raised us to understand that not everything was going to be great-but how to laugh through it.
[Motherhood is] the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It's huge and scary-it's an act of infinite optimism.
I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Who is getting more pleasure from this rocking, the baby or me?
Judicious mothers will always keep in mind that they are the first book read, and the last put aside, in every childs library.
My mom and I have always been really close. She's always been the friend that was always there. There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn't have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.
I think while all mothers deal with feelings of guilt, working mothers are plagued by guilt on steroids!
Instantly available without continuous presence is probably the best role a mother can play.
The best part of having two babies at once, a son and a daughter, is mostly everything. You're just having that feeling of love inside you all the time and motherhood is such a fulfilling place to be. I kind of wish it would have happened to me earlier in my life.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.
