3 December 2020 Daphne Zuniga My mom was sarcastic about men. She would tell me Adam was the rough draft and Eve was the final product. She was a feminist minister, an earth mom who wore a bra only on Sundays.
3 December 2020 Jay-Z I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection, so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Smith My mom would have liked it that I patterned myself more after Jimmy Reed.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth Olsen I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.
3 December 2020 Nelson Algren Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom’s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.
3 December 2020 Tarsem Singh I’ve been an atheist since I was nine years old. And my mom is really religious, so we have a strange relationship. But if my mother was right, what would be the reason that the gods could let anything bad happen in the world?
3 December 2020 George Grove Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn’t have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.
3 December 2020 Anna Chlumsky From the very start of all of this, my mom has read the scripts first. And if she liked something, she let me read it. She told our agent what kinds of parts that we would want.
3 December 2020 Erich Fromm The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother’s side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
3 December 2020 Lev Yilmaz My mom had gotten a Super 8 camera to make home movies with, and my brother and me got our hands on it and ran with it.
3 December 2020 Taylor Swift 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.
3 December 2020 Angela Kinsey I think it’s a tough road if you’re a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, if you have a partner, if you don’t. It’s the best job in the world, and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.
3 December 2020 Ethel Merman My beloved Mom and Pop always rated tops with each other, and that’s the way it will always be.
3 December 2020 Cheryl Hines My mom is very Southern and she in real life says things like, ‘If you’ve got it, flaunt it.’

3 December 2020 Michael D. Barnes We’ve got activists all across the country like the members of the Million Mom March organization, some of their leaders are here tonight. We’re phone banking congressional offices and pursuing editorial boards.
3 December 2020 Kate O'Brien My mom always said that if the Protestants catch a Catholic in their church, they feed them to the Jews.

3 December 2020 Lauren Bush My first big job was an Abercrombie &Fitch campaign. But my mom wouldn’t let me skip school for it, so I missed half of the shoot. When we got there, we realized Bruce Weber was the photographer we knew we had made a mistake!
3 December 2020 Chloe Moretz My mom’s the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I’m a lump of clay and she’s moulding me into a woman.
3 December 2020 Michael Ealy My mom and father are extremely proud. They love it when I don’t die. I’ve done so many movies where I’ve died that their first question when I book a job is, ‘So, are you going to die in this?’

3 December 2020 Cecily von Ziegesar I’d never really babysat. I feel like I’m Blair, or ‘Gossip Girl.’ A teenager, basically – and now suddenly I’m a mom?
3 December 2020 Natasha Calis When I was seven, I asked my mom if I could be on TV, and she said if I really wanted to, I could. I got an agent and booked my first audition.
