I didn't really know what I wanted to do and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing.

I was into opera as a kid - I'd play 'Carmen' and sing and dance. My mom signed me up for a theater group before preschool and I never looked back.

Before I was a mom I used to think that parents who worried about their kids watching MTV were just clueless. Now that I'm a mom I see what the fuss was all about!

Before becoming a mom I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now those days are far and between. So when I have an hour it's all about the mani and pedi.

I can't remember a time when my mom didn't work. She has forever been on the move: a go-getter. When my brother Adel and I had a paper route as kids my mom would get up before us at the crack of dawn to drop off the Washington Post at different corners.

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.

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.

Before you're a mom you don't know what gear is going to be relevant.

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.

I was given baby doll toys myself and they proved a stark reminder that my life was expected to revolve around childbearing - just as my mom's had before me and her mom's had before her.

I'm more straightforward and I speak up more than I did before. When I was younger I wouldn't speak up as much but now that I'm a mom things have changed.

All men should strive to learn before they die what they are running from and to and why.

The new pope knows that his task is to make the light of Christ shine before men and women of world - not his own light but that of Christ.

The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.

I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.

You can die of the cure before you die of the illness.

My father and mother were second cousins though they did not meet till shortly before their marriage.

My parents were both from Scotland but had been resident in Lower Canada some time before their marriage which took place in Montreal and in that city I spent most of my life.

I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend. Mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth I have resolved to put these considerations before any others.

I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.

If it's not working before you get married marriage isn't going to fix it.

I wasn't looking for another marriage. I had been married before. He is a nice man - a geologist an Ernest Hemingway type. But Paul and I married because of convention.

I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part these communications took place before my marriage though some have sadly took place after. To be clear I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy we talked for hours. It was a relief really.
