My mom and father are extremely proud. They love it when I don't die. I've done so many movies where I've died that their first question when I book a job is, 'So, are you going to die in this?'
‐‐ Michael Ealy
My mom and grandmother were actresses, and I knew I was going to do this since I was super young. I would put on shows at my grandparents' house and sing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' in the living room. I was in drama club and chorus, and I knew every word to 'Grease.'
‐‐ Zoe Kravitz
My mom and I are very close.

‐‐ Taylor Swift
My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

‐‐ Norah Jones
My mom and I have always been very close since she did raise me as, like, a single mom. My friends and everyone I know are like, 'Wow, you guys really have a really good relationship.' She's with me a lot of the time, so people find that kind of shocking.
‐‐ Tiffany Trump
My mom and I have always had issues.
‐‐ Mindy McCready
My mom and I have been through a lot. But when you think about it, whose life is perfect? It is just really good because we did this together.
‐‐ Ashton Eaton
My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.
‐‐ Martha Plimpton
My mom and I would make bracelets and necklaces, and I would sell it in the first, second, and third grades because that was my lunch money.
‐‐ Nikki Reed
My mom and my dad are ebullient people, and I think I carry that with me.
‐‐ Michael Stuhlbarg
My mom and my dad are still together, but so many of my friends who got married just a few years ago aren't. Maybe it's that we compare ourselves to our parents' generation, thinking, 'Who's still together, and are they happy?'
‐‐ Rodrigo Santoro
My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life, you know, better education, better jobs. It was probably harder, much, much harder, for my parents. When you're a kid, you can learn a language much more easily; I learned English in less than a year.
‐‐ Mila Kunis
My mom and my dad were both very sociable, meeting lots of interesting people.

My mom and my father's birthday are on the same day.
‐‐ Victor Cruz
My mom and my stepdad are both therapists.
‐‐ Jennifer Westfeldt
My mom beat us until she started breaking clothes hangers. Wooden clothes hangers! Once we started laughing back at her, then your spankings were through. That's the way I was raised. So, I got to be about 13 years of age when finally she quit spanking on me. But I think that it was great way to be raised.
‐‐ Doug Harvey
My mom being a psychotherapist, I've been brought up with that whole psychoanalytical terrain.
‐‐ Helena Bonham Carter
My mom bought me a white Strat, but that wasn't what I wanted, so I went to a guitar store in Cleveland and - the guy told me it was a really good deal - made an even swap for a blue Teisco Del Ray. I loved that guitar and used it a bunch.
‐‐ Dan Auerbach
My mom bought me this amazing baby-food maker, the Beaba. I steam and puree fruits and vegetables, and they last for, like, four days.
‐‐ Kourtney Kardashian
My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.
‐‐ Emily Deschanel
My mom broke the mold. She put my brother and I first, always, and worked her fingers to the bone trying to provide for us. She taught us right from wrong and gave us very strong morals and values and belief in family, things that have stayed with me.
‐‐ Tim Howard
My mom brought me up by herself, so I was a latchkey kid. I would walk myself back from school and spent a lot of time at home alone, watching TV. There weren't a lot of Latinas - or any women of color. And the ones I saw were usually presented as stereotypes or treated like jokes.
‐‐ Sara Ramirez
My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.
‐‐ Christina Aguilera
My mom calls me an older soul because, growing up, she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom, chasing understanding.
‐‐ Ray Lewis
My mom calls me 'baby face.' It's very embarrassing.
‐‐ Stephen Colletti
My mom came from such humble beginnings and especially my dad as well. He didn't go to university.
‐‐ Petra Stunt
My mom came to the U.S. very young, and then she married very young. But she was never American. She was always Scottish and would make sure that I knew that I was, too.
‐‐ Julianne Moore
My mom can cook really good Cuban food, so we go eat there on the regular. And the Cuban coffee - you know how you drink coffee at a really young age.
‐‐ Dominik Garcia-Lorido
My mom can't defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman, with such an open heart. It's a real hard line, and I crossed it. I took everyone's life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty.
‐‐ Nikki Reed
My mom choreographed the top Olympians; she's really the queen of ice in her world, so I kind of get my directorial bug from her because she's really good at telling people what to do!
‐‐ Hayley Kiyoko
My mom cleaned toilets for a long time, and she'd seen a lot of terrible things, but she was still the strength of our family. And there are women like that all across the country - all around the world - who show that type of fortitude.
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
My mom comes from a really out-there upbringing, so for her, the way she raised me is pretty disciplined. I was home-schooled but more really unschooled, really.
‐‐ Ellar Coltrane
My mom cooked for us, and on the weekend, we always had Sunday dinner. My father liked to bake.
‐‐ Cara Buono
My mom cooked pot roast with noodles and frozen vegetables. Or she'd make spaghetti or hot dogs, or heat up TV dinners. Before I started modeling at age 19, I was 5'8" and weighed 165 pounds.
‐‐ Carol Alt
My mom could afford to put us in a Catholic school for grades one through seven, but not after that.
‐‐ Ron Funches
My mom couldn't afford dance shoes, so she put me in these old cowboy boots with a hard bottom so I could get some sound out. I used them for seven months. When I finally got real tap shoes, I was nervous. I kept moving my feet, thinking, 'Oh, so this is how it's supposed to sound.'
‐‐ Savion Glover
My mom, dad, and sister have all watched every episode of everything I've ever done.
‐‐ Lindy Booth
My mom, dad, grandparents, we all do voices.

‐‐ Paris Hilton
My mom definitely inspires me. She's just crazy when it comes to her fashion sense.
‐‐ Lourdes Leon Ciccone
My mom devised a plan to get me out of the house and gave me the choice between ballet or skating. She knew both of those sports were time-consuming and would keep me busy with hours of practice.
‐‐ Ashley Wagner
My mom did a great job because ever since I was born, she would put me into any type of sporting activity with hearing teams.
‐‐ Nyle DiMarco
