As a mom, you have all these situations you go through, and you're like, 'What is going on? Is this normal? Is this a phase? Or what is this?' and then you feel silly for asking questions because you think, 'I'm a mom - I'm supposed to know these things,' but you don't.

As a mom, you're so panicked and starved for time, you just need help.
‐‐ Leah Busque
As a mom, you worry about protecting your kid. But there are extra added layers of fears when you're talking about a kid with autism or who has some special needs issue.
‐‐ Holly Robinson Peete
As a mother, I love the Leapster handheld because it really delivers on educating children while they play. My daughter enjoys it because it's fun and touches on all of the activities she is interested in - videos, books and art.
‐‐ Marcia Gay Harden
As a mother, I'm constantly feeling like a failure.
‐‐ Georgina Bloomberg
As a mother I think you often get so caught up in trying to take care of everyone else that you forget to take care of yourself. But I'm a much better wife and mother when I take the time to take care of myself.
‐‐ Mia Hamm
As a mother, I work hard every day and I expect that work to be recognized and appreciated. Because I work for and with human beings, sometimes they're grateful and sometimes they aren't.

As a mother, the things that I wanted for my own four children, I want for all the children of France.
‐‐ Segolene Royal
As a mother, you feel much more vulnerable. And when you're vulnerable, you're a much better actress.

As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.
‐‐ Annie Lennox
As a movie-goer, I really like to watch all different kinds of movies and, as an actor, I always feel like I could do pretty much anything but a musical.
‐‐ Luke Wilson
As a moviegoer, I'm always annoyed when a big joke is ruined in the trailer, but generally, it actually makes it play better.
‐‐ Nicholas Stoller
As a multisport athlete, I was always fascinated with competition and how to win. At HBS and later at the Harvard Department of Economics, I was drawn to the field of competition and strategy because it tackles perhaps the most basic question in both business management and industrial economics: What determines corporate performance?
‐‐ Michael Porter
As a music supervisor, you learn to embrace the best of every genre, and I really have to say there's nothing that I'm embarrassed of.
‐‐ Alexandra Patsavas
As a musician and a guitar player, I can noodle as well as anybody. But from my background as a session musician, I always try to play what is called for by the lyric and listening to the song. As a writer, that's what I do, too.
‐‐ Richie Sambora
As a musician and a songwriter, it is an act of the ego to believe that other people might be interested in your point of view. But it is usually an empathetic nature that gets you going in the first place. Music keeps the heart porous in many ways.
‐‐ Bono
As a musician, basically the masses never thought I was a musician.
‐‐ Kip Winger
As a musician, I don't think I'm the greatest guitar player. I'm a bigger fan of the drums than I am the guitar; I just happen to play guitar. I play drums almost every day at my house. I wrote a lot of songs behind the drum kit, just having the music and vocals in my head and playing the rhythm.
‐‐ Daron Malakian
As a musician, I have always refrained from criticizing another artist.

As a musician, I hear the harmonic value of everything - I just enjoy music.

As a musician, I know that it'll take time for me to get to the ranks of an established artiste. Nevertheless, I'm very happy that people are appreciating my music.
‐‐ Priyanka Chopra
As a musician, I look for certain things that stimulate me. And what I look for is something that's an evolution on a particular genre that I never heard before.
‐‐ Steve Vai
As a musician I'm about expressing what's inside, and I think everyone has a song in them that they need to get out, whatever their gig is.
‐‐ Flea
As a musician I'm kind of nomadic, Waldo-like. I show up in different places, and I'm witness to unbelievable things.
‐‐ Yo-Yo Ma
As a musician I tell you that if you were to suppress adultery, fanaticism, crime, evil, the supernatural, there would no longer be the means for writing one note.
‐‐ Georges Bizet
As a musician, I've accomplished what I hoped to accomplish.
‐‐ Rickie Lee Jones
As a musician, life is not over just because you are getting older, and so I find retirement a very frightening and dark thought.
‐‐ Ian Anderson
As a musician myself, it annoys the hell out of me to watch an actor trying to play a guitar out of time with the music.
‐‐ Sam Palladio
As a musician usually music is your way out.
‐‐ Damon Albarn
As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.
‐‐ Andy Grammer
As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.
‐‐ Lisa Loeb
As a musician, you want the music in as many hands as you can get it into. More importantly, I want people to get the music for the fairest price, and in the most convenient way. And that's really turned into iTunes when you're talking about selling albums.
‐‐ Kid Rock
As a nation - and as a world - we need more truth.
‐‐ John Legend
As a nation, it's time to put politics aside and do the right thing to protect innocent little babies.
‐‐ Stephen Fincher
As a nation, Kuwait has been, arguably, free of freedom itself. Claimed in turn by Constantinople, Riyadh, and Baghdad, Kuwait has survived by playing Turks off Persians, Arabs off one another, and the English off everyone.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
As a nation we have, over the past seven years, been rebuilding our intelligence with powerful capabilities that many thought we would no longer need after the Cold War. We have been rebuilding our clandestine service, our satellite and other technical collection, our analytical depth and expertise.
‐‐ George Tenet
As a nation we have the right to decide our own affairs, to mould our own future. This does not pose any danger to anybody. Our nation is fully aware of the responsibility for its own fate in the complicated situation of the contemporary world.
‐‐ Lech Walesa
As a nation, we owe a great deal to the National Audubon Society, one of our most distinguished and important environmental organizations, and all those who work to protect America's open land and waterways.
‐‐ Louis Bacon
As a nation we should commit ourselves not only to the fight against terrorism, but to economic justice, defeat of the AIDS epidemic and vestiges of discriminatory policies of all kinds.
‐‐ Charles B. Rangel
As a native Washingtonian, I am well aware that childhood obesity is a real problem in our nation's capital.
‐‐ Daniel Snyder
As a natural historian, I don't believe in the consciousness of rocks or the opinions of rainbows or the convictions of slugs.
‐‐ Jim Crace
As a Naval officer, I've been all over the world, and one of the foundational lessons I learned was that parents everywhere would like to raise their children to a higher standard of living in a peaceful environment. That's a universal goal for families.
‐‐ Michael Mullen
As a necessary prerequisite to the creation of new forms of expression one might, I suppose, argue that current sensibilities respond uniquely to the notion of exhaustion as exhaustion, although that does de facto seem rather limiting.
‐‐ Brian Ferneyhough
As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon of near-death experiences.
‐‐ Eben Alexander
As a new artist - I don't care who you talk to - I think everyone would agree, it's hard to get your expectations right.
‐‐ Hunter Hayes
As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair.
‐‐ Josh Groban
As a new artist, you come out, and there are so many other new artists. It seems like there's a whole wave of new artists that come along every year. In '05, I was part of the crop. It was a lot harder trying to set myself apart from the rest of the pack.
‐‐ Jason Aldean
As a new entrepreneur, you need a stake in the game, but you can't risk it all.
‐‐ Alexa Von Tobel
As a new governor, I intend to assure our partners that we appreciate them and will continue to work with them to strengthen the cultural, social and economic bonds we share.
‐‐ David Ige
As a new mother, you're so vulnerable and make mistakes all the time. I guess there's more pressure when you're in the public eye, but I'd never stand by and let anyone exploit my daughter.
