I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.
I am a mom as well as a senator!
My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed!
My mom is in her mid-60s and has more energy and is more youthful than any human being I know. It's pretty incredible.
I begged my mom to let me start skating.
My mom was a source of strength.She showed me by example that women, regardless of how difficult life may get, can do it all.
