In fact, now that Mom’s apple pie comes frozen and baked by somebody who isn’t Mom, the hot dog stands alone. What it symbolizes remains pure, even if what it contains does not. – William Zinsser • America isn’t Congress. America isn’t Washington.

America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger. – Barack Obama • And last, my mom. I don’t think you know what you did. You had my brother when you were 18 years old. Three years later, I came out. The odds were stacked against us. Single parent with two boys by the time you were 21 years old. Everybody told us we weren’t supposed to be here. We went from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment, no bed, no furniture and we just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it. – Kevin Durant • At one point in my 20s, I was about to quit acting. I’d had a crappy couple of years and I was depressed. My mom said, ‘Don’t give up!

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Every year, my family and I would go visit my moms family in Texas.

To thank you, I really wanted to acknowledge all of you in the book. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough room for each name. So I’ve put in a code name that stands for all of you reading this book. The name is ‘Mom.’ It will be our little secret. So when you see ‘Mom’ in the acknowledgments, you’ll know I’m really talking about you. And don’t let my mother try to tell you otherwise. – Ellen DeGeneres • I asked mom if I was a gifted child. She said they certainly wouldn’t have paid for me. – Bill Watterson • I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues. – Angelina Jolie • I didn’t have an imaginary childhood friend, but I did one day imagine somehow tiny green men, and they were only tiny and green because my brother had a ton of toy soldier toys that came on a skateboard plank type of thing, and I just envisioned in this car driving to church with my mom, they were there. – Jim Parsons • I do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky – it symbolizes that i have a heart for God.

I don’t have any memory of that but my mom has written evidence of it. I’ve always liked playing with words so when I was younger it had a lot more to do with rhyme and sounds. – Sarah Kay • I don’t, as my mom would say, sweat the small stuff in our relationship. Because when I think of day-to-day irritations that you might have with the one you love, they’re nothing compared to the bigger task at hand. – Michelle Obama • I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation. My mom kept saying ‘Let it go, Lauren, It doesn’t matter’ … [I] realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think.

It might backfire on my mom. Hopefully, my brother will have another chance somewhere down the road. – Scott Niedermayer • I have a son who’s been raised Jewish because his mom is Jewish.

You’re cooped up with everybody and forced to exist with them, and you’re forced to try to relate to them in this way that’s more open. I guess that just doesn’t work for a lot of people. – Paul Giamatti • I have a ton of cousins on my moms side of the family, and we would put on shows together all the time and put on costumes, and we even charged our parents money. – Maulik Pancholy • I have always stressed to my girls that outer beauty fades but inner beauty lasts forever.

She was a single mother raising two kids in New York. – Kim Raver • I have no regrets. I had an amazing surrogate who carried my son for me. I am so grateful to her.

I would have had a kid, but not Zev, and I want Zev – tantrums and all. – Marissa Jaret Winokur • I hope telling the story of how I went from being a single mom to serving in the Texas State Senate to running for governor will remind others that with the right leadership in government, where you start has nothing to do with how far you go. – Wendy Davis • I know how to do anything, I’m a mom. – Roseanne Barr • I like to think there are a lot of balls in the air, and the kids are not one that I choose to drop. They have been a priority and I have a career that allows for a little more flexibility at times and hours that are quite mom-friendly. – Elisabeth Hasselbeck • I lived in South Africa until I was 11 when we first immigrated. My mom had sent me back there when I was 14 for summer vacation. I wasn’t doing very well in school, my grades were slipping. I called my mom one day and told her that I wasn’t coming back. I ended up staying there until I was 17 before coming back to North America. – Kandyse McClure • I lost my mother two years ago to cancer. But the greatest gift she gave to me was showing me how to be a wonderful and loving mom to my two sons, even now that they are grown men. – Carla Hall • I love being a single mom. But it’s definitely different when you’re dating. – Brooke Burns • I love doing TV. It’s so great for my world as a mom, as someone who likes to have a steady job and go to work feeling secure because I’m with a family. – Ming-Na Wen • I love my body as it is. People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years but I like the way I look. I give credit to my mom for helping me feel good about my appearance – for making sure I never felt embarrassed about my body, because she was never worried about looking too big. – Christina Hendricks • I notice that if there are some times I’ve been stressed, because I’m human and stress about things, that affects your kids. So you have to make sure you’re a happy mom so they can be happy. – Britney Spears • I obviously love to sing, it’s my passion, as is being a mom. Those are the two things that pretty much consume my every day and so I want to keep doing that as long as I can. – Martina McBride • I only do private room karaoke where its just me and one of my closest girlfriends. My mom always said I could really belt songs out, and the Dixie Chicks feed that encouragement. – Chelsea Peretti • I painted my toenails before Dennis Rodman. One time at training camp, I stubbed my toe and the nail came loose. My mom gave me some toenail hardener, and I painted over it. I scored 40-something points that night, so it became a ritual. Paint my toenails, score 40 points. – Shaquille O’Neal • I started acting when I was five years old. I found it randomly, through listening to my brother study monologues. I auditorally started memorizing them for no reason, and started repeating them to anyone who would listen to me. And then, I begged my mom to let me do whatever that meant because I couldn’t put into words exactly what that meant. It just meant me happy. And then, when I was 11 years old, I realized what I was doing and I looked to my mom and said, “Can I make this something I can do for the rest of my life?” She was like, “Yeah, sure, if you want to.” And I was like, “Okay, great! I think I might want to do this forever.” – Chloe Grace Moretz • I started acting when I was, like, three. My brother was really smart, and he wasnt being challenged enough, so my mom put him in the theater class. And I obviously followed him. – Nolan Gould • I suppose all moms have an idea who they hope their daughters will be. Like a connect-the-dots picture where you think you know what shape it will become. But then it’s the daughter who draws the lines, and she might connect the dots you didn’t intend, making a whole different picture. So I’ve gotta trust the dots she’s given me, and she’s gotta trust me to draw the picture myself. – Laura Lee • I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time. – Gillian Jacobs • I think the metaphysical world is something Lisa and I have always been interested in.

That’s how she made me feel. – Natasha Gregson Wagner • I told Grant Hill back there – I just got done playing against him – as a second grader I had a Pistons Grant Hill jersey.

When I walked into the gym, I fell in love with the game. – Kevin Durant • I used to be embarrassed by my mom, but now I know what she is-she’s a hero. – Carrie Jones • I used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry. – Drew Barrymore • I want to be playing music, and I want to be a great mom, and I want to do everything. – Emily Robison • I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me. – Martina Hingis • I was raised in a spirit of the importance of service to your fellow man. My mom is a senator back home in South Africa. My father is a very caring and generous individual. – Adhir Kalyan • I was taught very well. My mom raised me very well, and so did my dad. I’ve been very blessed to have great parents that cared about me. – Justin Bieber • I wish I had read Sacred Pregnancy when I was pregnant instead of the dozen books I had to piece together to try to make sense of it all. Anni Daulter has created what should be the new standard for today’s mom: birth journals, labor workbooks, pregnancy memoirs, and holistic wisdom. It is gentle and enlightening, and lays the foundation for what we know helps women have the labor and birth they want and deserve: support, self-knowledge, and empowerment. – Mayim Bialik • I wonder if I love the communal act of eating so much because throughout my childhood, with four older brothers and a mom who worked in the restaurant business, I spent a lot of time fending for myself, eating alone – and recognizing how eating together made all the difference. – Thomas Keller • If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been. – Robert Breault • I’m a huge breast cancer awareness advocate because my mom went through breast cancer recently. It really brought our family closer. – Brenda Song • I’m a long way from being evicted [at the age of 14], but I’ll never forget it. I’ll never forget the feeling. I’ll never forget my mom crying and I’ll never forget the thought I had: ‘Well the only thing I can do is just go build my body,’ because the men who were successful that I knew of – Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis – they were men of action. – Dwayne Johnson • I’m a mom. I’m from Ethiopia. I gave birth in the U.S. and had all the proper care available to me. If I had given birth in Ethiopia – I don’t know if I might have even survived it. – Liya Kebede • I’m a real stay-at-home mom. I’m really hands-on. Everything else became secondary. – Drew Barrymore • I’m a working mom, not a professional athlete, but I am a runner and that’s a special club. – Alison Sweeney • Im married to a white man, and then my daughter came out looking like the whitest white child with blonde hair and blue eyes. And Im like, Omigosh, now what am I going to do? She has my moms features and is lighter than my husband. And my boy is browner than I am. Brown eyes and really tan. – Karyn Parsons • I’m somebody who doesn’t work with a stylist. I’ll be honest with you, I’m a mom and it’s just not something I want to put money toward because it’s expensive to have somebody who helps dress you and I feel like I have to pay for preschool and so many things so I don’t have a stylist. – Busy Philipps • It doesn’t matter how old you are, or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mom. – Kate Winslet • It needs to be said that sometimes my mom forgets important details when she talks. Like the time she told us she was considering leather (couches, it turns out), or when I was little and she said, “Here’s a napkin to put your balls in” (the Atomic Fireballs that I was eating, she meant). – Bill Konigsberg • It’s about prioritizing. Just take it one step at a time. Do the best that you can. I’m a mom and I have two husbands – an ex husband and a next husband. It’s a blended family and it’s very hard to keep things together, but we’re happy and we live in love. Djimon and I are so happy. – Kimora Lee Simmons • It’s always been my mom and I against the world. – Brittany Murphy • It’s fun to play mom. Last I knew I was playing a 17-year-old who graduated. – Selma Blair • I’ve got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we’re super spiritual or we’ve got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won’t guarantee that they’ll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending. – Tullian Tchividjian • Like many other moms out there, I try to buy safe products for my family, but that can’t be the only solution. You can’t hire a team of scientists to do your shopping for you. At some point the government has to step in and ensure that chemicals are safe before our children are exposed to them. – Jessica Alba • Maybe we ought to look at a guy’s response to our microwave from now on.” Aunt Annie said. Really.” Mom said. “The narcissist looks at his reflection in it. The OCD guy thinks you don’t keep it clean enough.The antisocial–” Puts his fist through it because it reminds him of his father.” Annie said. She’d read all of mom’s books, too. And the paranoid one would be jealous of the amount of time you spend cooking.” Mom said Were you using that microwave again? Is something going on between the two of you? I caught you looking right at its clock.” Annie said. – Deb Caletti • Mom takes all the credit for my success. Now Mom says, ‘I read your face when you were a baby, and it said you were going to be a star. That’s why I named you Ming – because it’s all about the sun and the stars and enlightenment.’ – Ming-Na Wen • My dad had limitations. That’s what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm. – Gillian Flynn • My dad is funny in his own way, and so is my brother, but in terms of legitimately making a lot of people laugh, that’s my mom. I inherit my sense of comedy from her. – Mindy Kaling • My family and my friends-they keep me grounded. Especially my mom, because she would kick my ass if I was to change. – Lil Wayne • My first language is both English and Spanish. My mom was raised in Los Angeles, so with her we spoke English, but my father was born in Cuba, so with him we spoke Spanish. – Jencarlos Canela • My life isn’t interesting! It’s my mom. You need to write her life and put me in it. I’m a cameo in her life. – Carl Lewis • My mom always said fighting with me as a kid was like going to court.

Now that is full-on all the time. – Kim Raver • My mom has obviously had a powerful influence on my life and her voice can describe certain things that I couldn’t see in myself. – Common • My mom is American, so I was raised in her household in my formative years. But as I got older, my pops tried to keep me involved with the culture by telling me the stories of the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, how he came to America, and about our family back home, because all that side of my family, my aunties, grandparents, is in Africa. – Nipsey Hussle • My mom is my heart. She was a rock for me even though she was not around as much as dad. – Sunidhi Chauhan • My mom is one of those people that you feel honored to meet. And no matter who you are, you fall in love with her because she is spiritual, she’s inspiring, she’s strong, she’s funny, she’s creative, she’s talented… she’s everything that I want to be. – Beyonce Knowles • My mom is really skinny, too. I got it from her. Ive never done yoga before. – Bregje Heinen • My mom makes something called green pie, which I thought was a delicacy that many people only had at Thanksgiving, but it turns out it was just Jell-O with whipped cream on it. And it’s delicious. – Bobby Moynihan • My mom pushed me to take drama class. – Michael Steger • My mom says I have to be more positive, and I say life has to be more positive too or it’s just not going to work. – Jane Wagner • My mom was always a fan of just really elegant, sophisticated pieces. I mean we grew up in Maine, so we didn’t have a lot of call for black tie or anything, but I think I definitely got that sensibility from her. – Anna Kendrick • My mom was always like, “If you love it, do it. If she’s actually having fun, and I know that my kid is having fun, she’s gonna do whatever she wants. Whether that’s gymnastics, learning the car, acting or just being a normal kid, she’s gonna do what makes her happy.” That’s how I’ve always lived my life. – Chloe Grace Moretz • My mom was an environmental activist in Australia in the late ’60s and ’70s and I guess I’ve inherited that awareness from her. – Robin McLeavy • My mom wouldn’t know Tom Cruise if he punched her in the face. – Gillian Jacobs • My mom wouldn’t let me buy clothes she didn’t like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school. – Gillian Jacobs • My mom, she’s like Why can’t you just do a nice romantic comedy like Jennifer Love Hewitt? And I’m like: Mom, look at me. They just don’t put me in those movies. – Norman Reedus • My mother was a single mom, and most of the women I know are strong. – Regina King • My nana was an actress, my mom was an actress, and my sister, too. So because I was surrounded by it, it really came naturally. – Chris Pine • My parents were pretty open about a lot of things, especially my mom. And any kind of little crazy thing I was into, she was very supportive of. You know, whether it was BMX bike racing or being in the Boy Scouts or surfing or anything else, she always seemed to sort of support it. And I think it’s because she was an immigrant and that idea of sort of having her kids be able to have access to their dreams and whatever they wanted to follow was very important to her. – Terry Gross • My parents were very young when they had me. They were still growing up and learning themselves. They did the best they could, but my mom and dad split up when I was little… So that kind of made me stronger. – Justin Bieber • Never eat in a place called ‘Mom’s’. – Nelson Algren • No mom has it all together. We’re all dealing with loose ends when it comes to motherhood and our children.

Every day and night, even when we didn’t have much food, we would pray together. And that for me was a beautiful moment. The fact of being poor didn’t really hurt me. – Riccardo Tisci • Parents may be always working, parents may be in and out. When you’re dropping them off with coaches, the first thing kids should be coming back and saying is, ‘Mom, guess what I learned today? Guess what coach taught me today?’ – Ray Lewis • Sending a handwritten letter is becoming such an anomaly. It’s disappearing. My mom is the only one who still writes me letters. And there’s something visceral about opening a letter – I see her on the page. I see her in her handwriting. – Steve Carell • So long, Mom I’m off to drop the bomb So don’t wait up for me But while you swelter Down there in your shelter You can see me On your TV – Tom Lehrer • So why you pushin’ it? Why you lyin’ for? I know where you live, I know your folks, you was a sucka as a kid. Your persona’s drama that you acquired in high school in actin’ class, Your whole aura is plexiglass. What’s-her-face told me you shot this kid last week in the park; That’s a lie, you was in church with your moms. – O.C. • Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Listen to your moms and dads. In this great country of ours you do whatever you set your mind to. Make us proud of you. – Mickey Mantle • The most dangerous action a woman can take when faced with a criminal is to resist with her fists: That tends to annoy violent criminals, and the woman will very likely be seriously injured. But a woman who takes the advice of Handgun Control Inc. and passively submits is 2.5 times more likely to be injured than a woman who resists with a gun. So if you don’t want to lie back and enjoy it, get a gun. Otherwise you may never become a mom. – Ann Coulter • The most inspiring piece of advice I’ve gotten is simply to persevere. My mom taught me to always keep going no matter what from an early age. When it feels too difficult to push forward, I always remind myself, ‘This too shall pass,’ and then I redouble my efforts. – Liya Kebede • There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can’t be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs. – Gloria Allred • There was a nobility in poverty when I was growing up. My mom was poor but she was planting roses and she was cleaning the steps, you know what I mean. You didn’t feel sorry for yourself. – Ricky Gervais • There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn’t very rebellious. – Gillian Jacobs • Treat a woman how you’d want someone to treat your mom. – Mario Lopez • When I have children that go home and mom and dad are not home because they’re working, they’re trying to get food on the table, and they come home to an empty house and they go to sleep in an empty house, there is no way that child can compete against a child from the west side of Los Angeles who both parents went to Stanford. Well, good for them, God love them. That’s not an equal playing field. – Rafe Esquith • When I was 11, I moved to the United States with my two brothers and my mom. We moved to northern New York, up near the Canadian border, from Argentina, and there was nobody there that spoke Spanish, and because there was no internet at the time, not even cable TV yet, I lost the connection with my childhood friends and the culture I had been brought up with for my first decade completely. – Viggo Mortensen • When I was a kid I didn’t feel like I fit in because – this is really silly and I probably shouldn’t say it, but, I didn’t think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn’t think anything was funny. I couldn’t laugh. – Courteney Cox • When my husband won the Palme d’Or in 2002, I wore the same dress two days in a row. My daughter said, ‘Mom! Did you sleep in your dress?’ But I think it’s cool to wear the same thing. I have to feel comfortable. – Emmanuelle Seigner • When my wife and I met, I couldn’t talk to her – and my defense mechanism is sarcasm. I belittle someone with verbal pokes and prods. I did it to her out of complete awe. When friends introduced us, I said ‘Hi’ – and turned my back. Later, I called my mom and best friend and said, ‘I think I just met my wife.’ – Mike Vogel • When you can impress your mom by saying you’ve been to someone’s concert, you know you’re pretty lame. – Gillian Jacobs • You didn’t want to bring home anything but an A or a B. To my mom, a C was like an F. – Calvin Johnson

  • A small gold plain cross was passed down from my grandma to my mom, then to me, and now to my daughter. It is always nice to own something that connects you to the women who made it possible for you to exist. – Liya Kebede • Agent Mom is a perfect opportunity for me to do what I love… develop characters, act and take incredible stories to my fans. So yes, I can absolutely see myself cast as Agent Mom. – Alaina Huffman • Although the frankfurter originated in Frankfurt, Germany, we have long since made it our own, a twin pillar of democracy along with Mom’s apple pie. In fact, now that Mom’s apple pie comes frozen and baked by somebody who isn’t Mom, the hot dog stands alone. What it symbolizes remains pure, even if what it contains does not. – William Zinsser • America isn’t Congress. America isn’t Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business, or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger. – Barack Obama • And last, my mom. I don’t think you know what you did. You had my brother when you were 18 years old. Three years later, I came out. The odds were stacked against us. Single parent with two boys by the time you were 21 years old. Everybody told us we weren’t supposed to be here. We went from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment, no bed, no furniture and we just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it. – Kevin Durant • At one point in my 20s, I was about to quit acting. I’d had a crappy couple of years and I was depressed. My mom said, ‘Don’t give up! You’ll be so mad at yourself.’ – Janel Moloney
jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Mom', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_mom').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_mom img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy. – Tina Fey • But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy. – Tom Cruise
• Christmas was always a big holiday in our family. Every Christmas Eve before wed go to bed, my mom and dad would read to us two or three stories and they would always be The Happy Prince, The Gift of the Magi and Twas the Night Before Christmas, and I would like to keep that alive. – Cameron Mathison • Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they’re fun, they do things together, they’re best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom, they’re going to respect Mom. – Tim Allen
[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Every year, my family and I would go visit my moms family in Texas. We would drive from Chicago to Texas, and once we started to get towards San Antonio, everyone looked like me! It was such a great feeling. Everyone had the same brown skin that I did. – Marisol Nichols • Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes. – P. J. O’Rourke • Having children is a huge responsibility, and I just don’t want to hand them off to a nanny or my mom to take care of them. – Thalia • I always wanted to be a young mom, but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem – take advantage of that. – Brittany Murphy • I appreciate your giving my book — and in no small way, me — a chance. To thank you, I really wanted to acknowledge all of you in the book. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough room for each name. So I’ve put in a code name that stands for all of you reading this book. The name is ‘Mom.’ It will be our little secret. So when you see ‘Mom’ in the acknowledgments, you’ll know I’m really talking about you. And don’t let my mother try to tell you otherwise. – Ellen DeGeneres • I asked mom if I was a gifted child. She said they certainly wouldn’t have paid for me. – Bill Watterson • I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues. – Angelina Jolie • I didn’t have an imaginary childhood friend, but I did one day imagine somehow tiny green men, and they were only tiny and green because my brother had a ton of toy soldier toys that came on a skateboard plank type of thing, and I just envisioned in this car driving to church with my mom, they were there. – Jim Parsons • I do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky – it symbolizes that i have a heart for God. It’s something that my mom and I came up with in college and I do it every time I step on the floor as a reminder of who i’m playing for. – Stephen Curry • I do doubles on Monday and Thursday, take Wednesday off or do easy cardio, do doubles on Thursday and Friday, and the weekend I just get outside and get active – jog or bike ride, or play tennis with my mom. – Mikaela Shiffrin • I don’t like sex … I’m a single working mom with nine cats, a dog-shark, a lizard, and a bunny. I don’t go to bed, I pass out. The idea that I’d get to my bed and there’d be someone in there with whom I was supposed to have an activity is horrifying to me. – Paula Poundstone • I don’t remember the first poem that I wrote because I’ve been creating poems since I was around 2 or 3. I don’t have any memory of that but my mom has written evidence of it. I’ve always liked playing with words so when I was younger it had a lot more to do with rhyme and sounds. – Sarah Kay • I don’t, as my mom would say, sweat the small stuff in our relationship. Because when I think of day-to-day irritations that you might have with the one you love, they’re nothing compared to the bigger task at hand. – Michelle Obama • I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation. My mom kept saying ‘Let it go, Lauren, It doesn’t matter’ … [I] realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think. The next day I got a tattoo on my lower back that says ‘sticks and stones’, because they may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. – Lauren Conrad • I got a call from my mom today, she says, ‘Well, David, I see you didn’t get the ‘Tonight Show’ again.’ – David Letterman • I got a lot of grief from my teammates about that. It might backfire on my mom. Hopefully, my brother will have another chance somewhere down the road. – Scott Niedermayer • I have a son who’s been raised Jewish because his mom is Jewish. I have a whole different set of holidays to celebrate. Everybody is thrown together with their family in such an intense way, opening all of that stuff again. You’re cooped up with everybody and forced to exist with them, and you’re forced to try to relate to them in this way that’s more open. I guess that just doesn’t work for a lot of people. – Paul Giamatti • I have a ton of cousins on my moms side of the family, and we would put on shows together all the time and put on costumes, and we even charged our parents money. – Maulik Pancholy • I have always stressed to my girls that outer beauty fades but inner beauty lasts forever. Simple things like smiling and looking people in the eye could change someone’s bad day into a good one. My mom always said that beauty is as beauty does, and I’m sure it will pass along to all the future generations of our family. – Tina Knowles • I have an incredible role model in my mom. She was a single mother raising two kids in New York. – Kim Raver • I have no regrets. I had an amazing surrogate who carried my son for me. I am so grateful to her. I can even say I am grateful for having cancer. I was always meant to be a mom, but if I didnt have cancer, I never would have had Zev. I would have had a kid, but not Zev, and I want Zev – tantrums and all. – Marissa Jaret Winokur • I hope telling the story of how I went from being a single mom to serving in the Texas State Senate to running for governor will remind others that with the right leadership in government, where you start has nothing to do with how far you go. – Wendy Davis • I know how to do anything, I’m a mom. – Roseanne Barr • I like to think there are a lot of balls in the air, and the kids are not one that I choose to drop. They have been a priority and I have a career that allows for a little more flexibility at times and hours that are quite mom-friendly. – Elisabeth Hasselbeck • I lived in South Africa until I was 11 when we first immigrated. My mom had sent me back there when I was 14 for summer vacation. I wasn’t doing very well in school, my grades were slipping. I called my mom one day and told her that I wasn’t coming back. I ended up staying there until I was 17 before coming back to North America. – Kandyse McClure • I lost my mother two years ago to cancer. But the greatest gift she gave to me was showing me how to be a wonderful and loving mom to my two sons, even now that they are grown men. – Carla Hall • I love being a single mom. But it’s definitely different when you’re dating. – Brooke Burns • I love doing TV. It’s so great for my world as a mom, as someone who likes to have a steady job and go to work feeling secure because I’m with a family. – Ming-Na Wen • I love my body as it is. People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years but I like the way I look. I give credit to my mom for helping me feel good about my appearance – for making sure I never felt embarrassed about my body, because she was never worried about looking too big. – Christina Hendricks • I notice that if there are some times I’ve been stressed, because I’m human and stress about things, that affects your kids. So you have to make sure you’re a happy mom so they can be happy. – Britney Spears • I obviously love to sing, it’s my passion, as is being a mom. Those are the two things that pretty much consume my every day and so I want to keep doing that as long as I can. – Martina McBride • I only do private room karaoke where its just me and one of my closest girlfriends. My mom always said I could really belt songs out, and the Dixie Chicks feed that encouragement. – Chelsea Peretti • I painted my toenails before Dennis Rodman. One time at training camp, I stubbed my toe and the nail came loose. My mom gave me some toenail hardener, and I painted over it. I scored 40-something points that night, so it became a ritual. Paint my toenails, score 40 points. – Shaquille O’Neal • I started acting when I was five years old. I found it randomly, through listening to my brother study monologues. I auditorally started memorizing them for no reason, and started repeating them to anyone who would listen to me. And then, I begged my mom to let me do whatever that meant because I couldn’t put into words exactly what that meant. It just meant me happy. And then, when I was 11 years old, I realized what I was doing and I looked to my mom and said, “Can I make this something I can do for the rest of my life?” She was like, “Yeah, sure, if you want to.” And I was like, “Okay, great! I think I might want to do this forever.” – Chloe Grace Moretz • I started acting when I was, like, three. My brother was really smart, and he wasnt being challenged enough, so my mom put him in the theater class. And I obviously followed him. – Nolan Gould • I suppose all moms have an idea who they hope their daughters will be. Like a connect-the-dots picture where you think you know what shape it will become. But then it’s the daughter who draws the lines, and she might connect the dots you didn’t intend, making a whole different picture. So I’ve gotta trust the dots she’s given me, and she’s gotta trust me to draw the picture myself. – Laura Lee • I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time. – Gillian Jacobs • I think the metaphysical world is something Lisa and I have always been interested in. We were encouraged from a very young age to believe in magic. Our mom used to take us to fairy parties. As we got older, I was always very drawn to manifesting my own destiny…learning how to do spells and personal ritual. – Jessica Origliasso • I thought my mom’s whole purpose was to be my mom. That’s how she made me feel. – Natasha Gregson Wagner • I told Grant Hill back there – I just got done playing against him – as a second grader I had a Pistons Grant Hill jersey. That was the first time I walked into a gym. That’s when I fell in love with the game. My mom, I think she just wanted to get me and my brothers out of the house for a few hours. When I walked into the gym, I fell in love with the game. – Kevin Durant • I used to be embarrassed by my mom, but now I know what she is-she’s a hero. – Carrie Jones • I used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry. – Drew Barrymore • I want to be playing music, and I want to be a great mom, and I want to do everything. – Emily Robison • I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me. – Martina Hingis • I was raised in a spirit of the importance of service to your fellow man. My mom is a senator back home in South Africa. My father is a very caring and generous individual. – Adhir Kalyan • I was taught very well. My mom raised me very well, and so did my dad. I’ve been very blessed to have great parents that cared about me. – Justin Bieber • I wish I had read Sacred Pregnancy when I was pregnant instead of the dozen books I had to piece together to try to make sense of it all. Anni Daulter has created what should be the new standard for today’s mom: birth journals, labor workbooks, pregnancy memoirs, and holistic wisdom. It is gentle and enlightening, and lays the foundation for what we know helps women have the labor and birth they want and deserve: support, self-knowledge, and empowerment. – Mayim Bialik • I wonder if I love the communal act of eating so much because throughout my childhood, with four older brothers and a mom who worked in the restaurant business, I spent a lot of time fending for myself, eating alone – and recognizing how eating together made all the difference. – Thomas Keller • If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been. – Robert Breault • I’m a huge breast cancer awareness advocate because my mom went through breast cancer recently. It really brought our family closer. – Brenda Song • I’m a long way from being evicted [at the age of 14], but I’ll never forget it. I’ll never forget the feeling. I’ll never forget my mom crying and I’ll never forget the thought I had: ‘Well the only thing I can do is just go build my body,’ because the men who were successful that I knew of – Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis – they were men of action. – Dwayne Johnson • I’m a mom. I’m from Ethiopia. I gave birth in the U.S. and had all the proper care available to me. If I had given birth in Ethiopia – I don’t know if I might have even survived it. – Liya Kebede • I’m a real stay-at-home mom. I’m really hands-on. Everything else became secondary. – Drew Barrymore • I’m a working mom, not a professional athlete, but I am a runner and that’s a special club. – Alison Sweeney • Im married to a white man, and then my daughter came out looking like the whitest white child with blonde hair and blue eyes. And Im like, Omigosh, now what am I going to do? She has my moms features and is lighter than my husband. And my boy is browner than I am. Brown eyes and really tan. – Karyn Parsons • I’m somebody who doesn’t work with a stylist. I’ll be honest with you, I’m a mom and it’s just not something I want to put money toward because it’s expensive to have somebody who helps dress you and I feel like I have to pay for preschool and so many things so I don’t have a stylist. – Busy Philipps • It doesn’t matter how old you are, or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mom. – Kate Winslet • It needs to be said that sometimes my mom forgets important details when she talks. Like the time she told us she was considering leather (couches, it turns out), or when I was little and she said, “Here’s a napkin to put your balls in” (the Atomic Fireballs that I was eating, she meant). – Bill Konigsberg • It’s about prioritizing. Just take it one step at a time. Do the best that you can. I’m a mom and I have two husbands – an ex husband and a next husband. It’s a blended family and it’s very hard to keep things together, but we’re happy and we live in love. Djimon and I are so happy. – Kimora Lee Simmons • It’s always been my mom and I against the world. – Brittany Murphy • It’s fun to play mom. Last I knew I was playing a 17-year-old who graduated. – Selma Blair • I’ve got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we’re super spiritual or we’ve got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won’t guarantee that they’ll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending. – Tullian Tchividjian • Like many other moms out there, I try to buy safe products for my family, but that can’t be the only solution. You can’t hire a team of scientists to do your shopping for you. At some point the government has to step in and ensure that chemicals are safe before our children are exposed to them. – Jessica Alba • Maybe we ought to look at a guy’s response to our microwave from now on.” Aunt Annie said. Really.” Mom said. “The narcissist looks at his reflection in it. The OCD guy thinks you don’t keep it clean enough.The antisocial–” Puts his fist through it because it reminds him of his father.” Annie said. She’d read all of mom’s books, too. And the paranoid one would be jealous of the amount of time you spend cooking.” Mom said Were you using that microwave again? Is something going on between the two of you? I caught you looking right at its clock.” Annie said. – Deb Caletti • Mom takes all the credit for my success. Now Mom says, ‘I read your face when you were a baby, and it said you were going to be a star. That’s why I named you Ming – because it’s all about the sun and the stars and enlightenment.’ – Ming-Na Wen • My dad had limitations. That’s what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm. – Gillian Flynn • My dad is funny in his own way, and so is my brother, but in terms of legitimately making a lot of people laugh, that’s my mom. I inherit my sense of comedy from her. – Mindy Kaling • My family and my friends-they keep me grounded. Especially my mom, because she would kick my ass if I was to change. – Lil Wayne • My first language is both English and Spanish. My mom was raised in Los Angeles, so with her we spoke English, but my father was born in Cuba, so with him we spoke Spanish. – Jencarlos Canela • My life isn’t interesting! It’s my mom. You need to write her life and put me in it. I’m a cameo in her life. – Carl Lewis • My mom always said fighting with me as a kid was like going to court. I’m trying to realize that being right is not the most important thing. – Gillian Jacobs • My mom and my stepdad are both therapists. – Jennifer Westfeldt • My mom dressed me in silk to go to elementary school. – Allegra Versace • My mom had the breakdown for the family, and I went into therapy for all of us. – Carrie Fisher • My mom has always been a huge inspiration. She was a single mom raising two kids in New York. Now that is full-on all the time. – Kim Raver • My mom has obviously had a powerful influence on my life and her voice can describe certain things that I couldn’t see in myself. – Common • My mom is American, so I was raised in her household in my formative years. But as I got older, my pops tried to keep me involved with the culture by telling me the stories of the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, how he came to America, and about our family back home, because all that side of my family, my aunties, grandparents, is in Africa. – Nipsey Hussle • My mom is my heart. She was a rock for me even though she was not around as much as dad. – Sunidhi Chauhan • My mom is one of those people that you feel honored to meet. And no matter who you are, you fall in love with her because she is spiritual, she’s inspiring, she’s strong, she’s funny, she’s creative, she’s talented… she’s everything that I want to be. – Beyonce Knowles • My mom is really skinny, too. I got it from her. Ive never done yoga before. – Bregje Heinen • My mom makes something called green pie, which I thought was a delicacy that many people only had at Thanksgiving, but it turns out it was just Jell-O with whipped cream on it. And it’s delicious. – Bobby Moynihan • My mom pushed me to take drama class. – Michael Steger • My mom says I have to be more positive, and I say life has to be more positive too or it’s just not going to work. – Jane Wagner • My mom was always a fan of just really elegant, sophisticated pieces. I mean we grew up in Maine, so we didn’t have a lot of call for black tie or anything, but I think I definitely got that sensibility from her. – Anna Kendrick • My mom was always like, “If you love it, do it. If she’s actually having fun, and I know that my kid is having fun, she’s gonna do whatever she wants. Whether that’s gymnastics, learning the car, acting or just being a normal kid, she’s gonna do what makes her happy.” That’s how I’ve always lived my life. – Chloe Grace Moretz • My mom was an environmental activist in Australia in the late ’60s and ’70s and I guess I’ve inherited that awareness from her. – Robin McLeavy • My mom wouldn’t know Tom Cruise if he punched her in the face. – Gillian Jacobs • My mom wouldn’t let me buy clothes she didn’t like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school. – Gillian Jacobs • My mom, she’s like Why can’t you just do a nice romantic comedy like Jennifer Love Hewitt? And I’m like: Mom, look at me. They just don’t put me in those movies. – Norman Reedus • My mother was a single mom, and most of the women I know are strong. – Regina King • My nana was an actress, my mom was an actress, and my sister, too. So because I was surrounded by it, it really came naturally. – Chris Pine • My parents were pretty open about a lot of things, especially my mom. And any kind of little crazy thing I was into, she was very supportive of. You know, whether it was BMX bike racing or being in the Boy Scouts or surfing or anything else, she always seemed to sort of support it. And I think it’s because she was an immigrant and that idea of sort of having her kids be able to have access to their dreams and whatever they wanted to follow was very important to her. – Terry Gross • My parents were very young when they had me. They were still growing up and learning themselves. They did the best they could, but my mom and dad split up when I was little… So that kind of made me stronger. – Justin Bieber • Never eat in a place called ‘Mom’s’. – Nelson Algren • No mom has it all together. We’re all dealing with loose ends when it comes to motherhood and our children. Some of us are just better at keeping up appearances, that’s all. – Julie Ann Barnhill • On a strained relationship between a tennis champion and her mother: There comes a time when it’s probably not cool for your mom to be your best friend. – Lindsay Davenport • On turning down an invitation to appear for four minutes on the Ed Sullivan Show: Honey, it takes Moms four minutes just to get on the stage. – Moms Mabley • One thing my mom didn’t want any of us to do was to cry or to complain about life. Every day and night, even when we didn’t have much food, we would pray together. And that for me was a beautiful moment. The fact of being poor didn’t really hurt me. – Riccardo Tisci • Parents may be always working, parents may be in and out. When you’re dropping them off with coaches, the first thing kids should be coming back and saying is, ‘Mom, guess what I learned today? Guess what coach taught me today?’ – Ray Lewis • Sending a handwritten letter is becoming such an anomaly. It’s disappearing. My mom is the only one who still writes me letters. And there’s something visceral about opening a letter – I see her on the page. I see her in her handwriting. – Steve Carell • So long, Mom I’m off to drop the bomb So don’t wait up for me But while you swelter Down there in your shelter You can see me On your TV – Tom Lehrer • So why you pushin’ it? Why you lyin’ for? I know where you live, I know your folks, you was a sucka as a kid. Your persona’s drama that you acquired in high school in actin’ class, Your whole aura is plexiglass. What’s-her-face told me you shot this kid last week in the park; That’s a lie, you was in church with your moms. – O.C. • Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Listen to your moms and dads. In this great country of ours you do whatever you set your mind to. Make us proud of you. – Mickey Mantle • The most dangerous action a woman can take when faced with a criminal is to resist with her fists: That tends to annoy violent criminals, and the woman will very likely be seriously injured. But a woman who takes the advice of Handgun Control Inc. and passively submits is 2.5 times more likely to be injured than a woman who resists with a gun. So if you don’t want to lie back and enjoy it, get a gun. Otherwise you may never become a mom. – Ann Coulter • The most inspiring piece of advice I’ve gotten is simply to persevere. My mom taught me to always keep going no matter what from an early age. When it feels too difficult to push forward, I always remind myself, ‘This too shall pass,’ and then I redouble my efforts. – Liya Kebede • There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can’t be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs. – Gloria Allred • There was a nobility in poverty when I was growing up. My mom was poor but she was planting roses and she was cleaning the steps, you know what I mean. You didn’t feel sorry for yourself. – Ricky Gervais • There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn’t very rebellious. – Gillian Jacobs • Treat a woman how you’d want someone to treat your mom. – Mario Lopez • When I have children that go home and mom and dad are not home because they’re working, they’re trying to get food on the table, and they come home to an empty house and they go to sleep in an empty house, there is no way that child can compete against a child from the west side of Los Angeles who both parents went to Stanford. Well, good for them, God love them. That’s not an equal playing field. – Rafe Esquith • When I was 11, I moved to the United States with my two brothers and my mom. We moved to northern New York, up near the Canadian border, from Argentina, and there was nobody there that spoke Spanish, and because there was no internet at the time, not even cable TV yet, I lost the connection with my childhood friends and the culture I had been brought up with for my first decade completely. – Viggo Mortensen • When I was a kid I didn’t feel like I fit in because – this is really silly and I probably shouldn’t say it, but, I didn’t think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn’t think anything was funny. I couldn’t laugh. – Courteney Cox • When my husband won the Palme d’Or in 2002, I wore the same dress two days in a row. My daughter said, ‘Mom! Did you sleep in your dress?’ But I think it’s cool to wear the same thing. I have to feel comfortable. – Emmanuelle Seigner • When my wife and I met, I couldn’t talk to her – and my defense mechanism is sarcasm. I belittle someone with verbal pokes and prods. I did it to her out of complete awe. When friends introduced us, I said ‘Hi’ – and turned my back. Later, I called my mom and best friend and said, ‘I think I just met my wife.’ – Mike Vogel • When you can impress your mom by saying you’ve been to someone’s concert, you know you’re pretty lame. – Gillian Jacobs • You didn’t want to bring home anything but an A or a B. To my mom, a C was like an F. – Calvin Johnson
