My mother is an amazing woman. Not only did she manage the entire household she noticed a gift in each of her kids and instilled confidence in all of us that that gift would take us wherever we wanted to go.

Motherhood is a dream. It really is absolutely amazing.

I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.

I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me and from my mother to my wife to my daughter every time I try to really figure them out and think I've got them pegged I pay for it.

I think the Mother is gradually revealing itself to me and taking over. But it is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father the male and the female sort of gradually having their marriage.

Woman must have her freedom the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be that problem is hers - and before it can be his it is hers alone.

In truth I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her too. And so Krishna is parented by me but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.

I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone it's freaky.

I couldn't even go to the bathroom alone. My mother or a social worker always went with me.

When I decided to be a singer my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are.

Death is the mother of Beauty hence from her alone shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.

I was a queen and you took away my crown a wife and you killed my husband a mother and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it but do not make me suffer long.

My mother was a professional sick person she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

When I decided to be a singer my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.

When you are a mother you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice once for herself and once for her child.

Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour she can hurt you.

My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age race or financial status.

My mother was 45 when she had me so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.

I've been going through photos of my mother looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.

I am a grandmother now and that means age is creeping on creeping on.

It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear in terms of concept... It's not about age. It's about taste and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.

What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.

There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and its mother's age.
