My mum and mad were both very generous, encouraging parents.
‐‐ Tony Abbott
My mum and my dad are the sweetest couple.
‐‐ Rita Ora
My mum and my dad have really good taste in movies. My gran would tape them off the TV and write notes about them, rating them.
‐‐ Domhnall Gleeson
My mum - and my granny and I - would close the curtains, turn on the TV and snuggle up and watch 'Come Dancing.' It was actually my granny who was the biggest fan; she loved the show, and she passed on her passion for it to me. I loved the dancing but also the frocks and the glamour.
‐‐ Cherie Lunghi
My mum and my husband are from Irish backgrounds, so we have a lot of potatoes. Chips, mashed, boiled, new potatoes, I love them all. Even the slightly wonky ones like Duchess potatoes that go up in a little spiral.
‐‐ Jo Brand
My mum believes in me almost more than I believe in myself.
‐‐ Naomie Harris
My mum brought me to my first job when I was 12. I started electrical work at her plant. She was an engineer, a technical expert, at one of the plants in the south, and in the summer she brought me in and I learnt how industrial things work: casting, electricity, maintenance, everything.
‐‐ Oleg Deripaska
My mum brought me up on her own. All we really had was each other.
‐‐ Russell Brand
My Mum brought me up to believe that if you look after the pennies then the pounds look after themselves, and I could never do it.
‐‐ Damien Hirst
My mum brought me up to think that personal happiness is more important than your family.
‐‐ Gail Porter
My mum calls my temper 'Devilman.' They say you calm down with age, but I don't know. It never goes away.
‐‐ Vinnie Jones
My mum came from nothing and didn't have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.
‐‐ Paloma Faith
My mum certainly isn't a prude, nor is my brother, so I think I'm lucky to have a family like that.
‐‐ Roxanne McKee
My mum did really well raising me and my brother by herself. I know it was a struggle, and even from a young age, when I was boxing, it was always to make my mother proud.
‐‐ Nicola Adams
My mum died of leukemia when I was in high school - she lost her life at 40. It was very hard, and I didn't do that much in Chicago after that. I actually sat around and didn't do anything for three years. I didn't know what I wanted to do anymore because my everything was gone. I was a mama's boy, and I had to turn into a man real quick.
‐‐ Cory Hardrict
My mum especially listens to music in a way that is incredibly feelings-based. There's virtually no snobbery about what sounds are in it, she just wants to hear a song and that is quite refreshing.
‐‐ James Blake
My mum fought for feminism in her day so instilled in me the importance of equality. She taught me so much about women.
‐‐ Chris Evans
My mum had 14 pregnancies - but only four of us survived. We had a little sister born for a few days and she died. There had to be a funeral.
‐‐ Tyson Fury
My mum had a massive influence on me, not just in what she wore and how she looked, but in her spirit. She was married to one of the most famous men in the world, and she didn't wear any makeup, ever. I mean, have you ever seen the wife of a man like that rock up with no makeup on? Because I haven't since.
‐‐ Stella McCartney
My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.
‐‐ Gloria Estefan
My mum had four kids on her own, so if I had one kid with one nanny and not a full-time job, it would be a joke. And I think the impossible happens when you leave your kids. I've seen so many nannies in the park on their phones, and the kids are running off.
‐‐ Abbey Clancy
My mum had this idea I was going to be this long-haired hippie playing guitar and bought me one when I was 13, but my little brother picked it up instead and was such a natural, he kept it! Io Echo is a band my brother now plays in; they're really good.
‐‐ Liberty Ross
My mum has always been quite free-spirited, and she has taught me a lot. I think that is probably why I have the sort of mind that I do.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Johnson
My mum has always said I am too hard on myself. But I have always been like that and it has always helped me. After matches I focus only on what I did wrong. Never what I did well.
‐‐ Cesc Fabregas
My mum has lived in Australia for 22 years now, and we have a rocky relationship. But at the same time it's one I want to maintain. I need her to be my mum. The relationship took a lot of rebuilding.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Wood
My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.
‐‐ Tracey Emin
My mum has told me that I have to work with Antonio Banderas just so that she can meet him and try and marry him.
‐‐ Kaya Scodelario
My mum is a big collector of art.
‐‐ Agnes Obel
My mum is a bit unconventional; she's outdoorsy and has more of an emotional intelligence, whereas my dad is pragmatic; he's a businessman.
‐‐ Tamsin Egerton
My mum is a lovely woman, so strong but so kind and compassionate. She brought us up to be proud, loving and forgiving.
‐‐ Rebecca Ferguson
My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.
‐‐ Jai Courtney
My mum is about five foot with her hair done. Without it she's about four foot 10.
‐‐ Ryan Kwanten
My mum is actually really wholesome.
‐‐ Georgia Jagger
My mum is an artist and very into creative expression and freedom.
‐‐ Abbie Cornish
My mum is black, my dad is white, and when I was a teenager, people would say, 'So what are you? Are you black? Or white? What are you more of?'
‐‐ Fleur East
My mum is Brazilian and very proud. I'd love to do a Brazilian film. I've been brought up in the Brazilian culture. My mum brought me up on my own, I cook Brazilian food, I've never spoken a word of English to my mother.
‐‐ Kaya Scodelario
My mum is bright, ambitious, well read, political and very bolshie: when my dad was conscripted into the Army and posted to Libya, she convinced some general to let her go with him. I don't know how she managed it.
‐‐ Jo Brand
My mum is Croatian, and obviously she's female and she's very emotional, very hot-blooded, very touchy-feely, whereas I think my dad's quite British.
‐‐ Tamara Ecclestone
My mum is deeply, deeply a man's woman, a man's muse. Maybe because I'm a kid from the '80s, I'm a bit more dominant. I wanted to be the muse and the director also. I wanted to be the man and the woman.
‐‐ Lou Doillon
My mum is from Ghana, and she used to play highlife music in the house, and my dad used to listen to music.
‐‐ Fleur East
My mum is great for keeping hold of old classics - pieces of clothing that never age and never go out of fashion. She also says, 'Make sure you always smile - it makes everything look better!'
‐‐ Amber Le Bon
My mum is incredibly intelligent.
‐‐ Philip Seymour Hoffman
My mum is incredibly leftwing, and my dad was quite rightwing - no surprise they didn't stay together - and so I had two very conflicting political opinions as a child, neither of which I was interested in taking any notice of, being a sort of little reprobate.
‐‐ Nick Love
My mum is just the sweetest person on Earth, and if I turned into her, I wouldn't be that upset at all; in fact, it would be an honour.
‐‐ Margot Robbie
My mum is, like, my biggest fan, and she's the one who will basically do all the publicity for me back home... She'll constantly be talking to me saying, 'Dan, what's going on? We've heard this. Tell us about it! Dad wants to know!' And so I'll give them as much information as I can, and Mom and Dad are both my biggest fans.
‐‐ Dan Feuerriegel
My mum is my beauty icon, because she represents what I think beauty is.
‐‐ Bar Refaeli
My mum is my best friend.
‐‐ Leona Lewis
My mum is totally crazy for fashion still.
‐‐ Stefano Gabbana
My mum is totally crazy for fashion still. Her job was as a laundress, but I loved it when she would dress up in her red suit with a mini jacket and flared trousers and get her wig fixed at the hairdresser's - it was the time of wigs - and we would go shopping.
