If I made a list of the people I admire Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old.

My mom is very Southern and she in real life says things like 'If you've got it flaunt it.'

When you're a mom and you have three children nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.

The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.

My mom didn't use face cream like nothing at all. She's got great skin and looks very youthful.

I've changed my life in a lot of ways. I'm a mom a wife and a Christian. Some of the things I expressed in my early 20s aren't what I care to express right now.

It's hard either way at home or on the bus I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.

As a mom I always feel I have to protect them. I talk about them because they are the most important things in my life but they are private people. I won't use them for my own press.

Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't think anything of going off for a few weeks and leaving their kids.

My mom used to tell me stories at night read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.

I would go visit my mom on Sundays and my brother was working on stuff. I'd go in there and sing a little melody then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.

I am a single mom and I'm the breadwinner and I have to work and I have to do these things and that's just the way it is. I don't think my son even knows any different.

The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.

My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.

My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she'll always find the positive in things.

My mom really instilled in me that I'm beautiful and I can do anything and I echo that now with my own girls.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

My mom would take me to restaurants and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.

The problem with me is anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.

The one thing my mom will let me get is a nice shoe sometimes.

My mom's the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I'm a lump of clay and she's moulding me into a woman.

I was brought up as an only child and we were very close. But when I was 14 we got evicted. We came home to a padlock and I looked up at my mom and she was crying and there was nothing to do.
