mother

The man in our society is the breadwinner; the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.

My mother told me on several different occasions that she was livin' her dream vicariously through me. She once said that I was getting' to do all the things that she would have wanted to have done.

Mother is far too clever to understand anything she does not like.

My parents, especially my mother, were no influence on me whatsoever.

Being a mother is hard and it wasn't a subject I ever studied.

I don't really see why some of those topical lines have to be crossed to get a point across. I want a mother and daughter, a teenage girl and her mom, to be able to come to the show and both enjoy it on the same level.

My mother thinks I could have even run a larger company.

My mother was a personal friend of God's. They had ongoing conversations.

I am truly my mother's son.

I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.

A woman must combine the role of mother, wife and politician.

My mother worked in factories, worked as a domestic, worked in a restaurant, always had a second job.

The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.

My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I'm 31-years-old, and I don't want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It's humiliating.

A mother who is obsessing about being thin and dieting and exercising is not going to be a very good mother.

There've been a few mother-daughter movies that are somewhat realistic. But the mother-son movies are more comical than realistic: 'Throw Momma from the Train,' 'Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot.' You don't sit in the dark and go, 'Oh my God, that's my mother.'

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

My mom was essentially a single mother raising three boys. If anyone could have had any reason to give up, it was her. But she didn't, and neither did we.
