3 December 2020 Cindy Crawford 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.
3 December 2020 Vanessa Kerry It was definitely a part of our life. I mean, my mom had both her brothers and her fiancee in Vietnam at the same time, so it wasn’t just my dad’s story, it was my mom’s story too. And we definitely grew up listening to the stories.
3 December 2020 Saskia de Brauw I think it would be a lot easier if I said, ‘I feel like a dude,’ but I was raised by a southern mom, so I know how to put on lipstick and walk in heels and rock that look. It’s exactly that juxtaposition that confuses people.
3 December 2020 Jamie Moyer Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she’s in her mid- to late 70s.
3 December 2020 Thomas Kincade I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.
3 December 2020 Lisa Scottoline But the fact is, I’m not work-identified. I’m not a lawyer or a writer. I’m a mom, and I’m a woman, and that’s the kind of people I want to see in books in the starring role.
3 December 2020 Miley Cyrus My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.
3 December 2020 Rebecca Romijn Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.
3 December 2020 Monica Potter Well, I am not really a conventional mom at all. Like, I had my kids really young. I had Danny when I was 18 or 19 and then Liam when I was 23 and Molly, I had when I was a little older.
3 December 2020 Ashley Greene Growing up my whole life, my mom was telling me how incredible and special I was and that I was going to change the world. I think it’s important for girls to know that they can change the world, that they do have an impact.
3 December 2020 Scott McClellan I remember my mom saying to me that what your friends do is one thing, but what you do could be on the front page of the paper.
3 December 2020 Lena Dunham 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.
3 December 2020 Dwayne Johnson 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.
3 December 2020 Chaske Spencer There was a point – when I was a kid – where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.
3 December 2020 Cheryl James I’ve changed my life in a lot of ways. I’m a mom, a wife, and a Christian. Some of the things I expressed in my early 20s aren’t what I care to express right now.
3 December 2020 Brandon Boyd 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.
3 December 2020 Andy Cohen Dinner ‘conversation’ at the Cohens’ meant my sister, mom, and I relaying in brutal detail the day’s events in a state of amplified hysteria, while my father listened to his own smooth jazz station in his head.
3 December 2020 Tia Mowry Before becoming a mom, I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now, those days are far and between. So when I have an hour, it’s all about the mani and pedi.
3 December 2020 E. W. Howe If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.
3 December 2020 Katherine Heigl I’m a sappy mom now. I didn’t think I would be. I thought I’d be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.
3 December 2020 Alan Jackson My mother kept asking me, ‘When are you going to do a gospel album?’ And I’ve always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.
3 December 2020 David Ortiz My mom, she wasn’t like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.
3 December 2020 Miley Cyrus I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad’s not overly protective, but he’s a dad no matter what.
3 December 2020 Hilary Duff I love my mom. I totally look up to her, and she just doesn’t let anybody take advantage of me. People might call that a stage mom.
3 December 2020 Tommy Franks The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important.
3 December 2020 Travis Barker My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
