3 December 2020 Caroline Wozniacki One day my dad would say, ‘OK, if you want to play tennis I can help you out.’ And that’s how it started. And I had a goal. I wanted to beat my mom first. And my parents and my brother. And that was the ultimate goal.
3 December 2020 Lisa Loeb 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!
3 December 2020 Martha Plimpton My mom just didn’t put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.

3 December 2020 Tiffani Amber Thiessen My mom always taught me to be sweet and polite and cross my legs because it’s what the guys like. Actually, they like a raunchy girl once in a while.
3 December 2020 Regina King A Modern Mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. A Modern Mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.
3 December 2020 Jason Mraz I listened to the radio, so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.
3 December 2020 Mindy Kaling Not to be weird, but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom, even though she passed away, and I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo, but that’s true.
3 December 2020 Jason Behr I think if I could be any superhero, it’d probably be my mom… but I don’t think I’d look too good in high heels, so it’s not gonna happen.

3 December 2020 Chanel Iman My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it’s always been a dream of hers.
3 December 2020 Mia Wasikowska My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house, so I’d catch bits and pieces of films.
3 December 2020 Katey Sagal I’m a better mother if I’m also doing my work. Some women find a lot more satisfaction from doing the hardest job, which is being a mom. But I like my day job, so I juggle a lot.

3 December 2020 Jenny McCarthy Having a child makes you realize the importance of life – narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born, I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom, I’d be fine.

3 December 2020 Jennifer Garner I remember, my mom didn’t have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, we’d just go down to the neighbors’ and she’d give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren’t any latchkey kids.
