Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice, lust, and drinking that was all about me.
My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I'm 42, thank you. I didn't want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some ot...
My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.
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.
Ever since I was a little kid, I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going t...
Aretha Franklin was a teenage mom, a musician who came from an incredibly Christian background, but there was a lot of love, which is really inspiring in a feminist way.
I was worried about my mom more than I was worried about the president. And then I was worried about the president, and then I was worried about myself.
Every time I think I have something under control, it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old, so right now I'm on alert all the t...
My mom put me and my sisters in the water to feel comfortable, to have water safety.
Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.
I'm a mom, so I have to be comfortable. Jeans are a staple - I have way too many in my closet! It's warm in Florida, so I wear jeans and a tank top every day. I love my True Religions, my Rich and Ski...
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.
My mom taught me to go after my dreams. I have this faith in myself that I must have gotten from her.
My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.
No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.
I'm probably a little more like my dad. But because of my mom, I never saw being a woman as being an impediment to being able to do something. She had her Ph.D. before I was born.
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.
Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad, I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year, we had a wonderful relationship.
