There was one thing my daddy wouldn't tolerate in any shape form or fashion and that was being unkind or rude to somebody. That was just very important to my folks. And as it turns out that was a legacy that he left me that money can't buy is how to be able to treat people.
Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.
Pretty much Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart. We make it by innovation.
Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not.
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.
Then you've got Georgetown and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me even away from being a basketball player.
Because of my unique experience as my mom's child the beginning of my journey was more about me trying to figure out who I was on my own. My mom is one of the greatest moms and so supportive of all my siblings and of all of us being who we are and not who she wanted us to be.
Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music I really wanted to work on having my own identify on being who I am and doing what I do and seeing how people responded.
I think there's a danger of a being typecast as the all-American mom forever.
I'm looking forward to being a mom and a wife and a business owner.
When I'm in the gym I'm in the gym and that is my focus. But when I'm not in the gym I'm enjoying being a mom and taking care of those responsibilities .. They really do provide me with the balance that I need to be a more complete athlete.
I always had an interest in fashion because my mom is a celebrity fashion stylist. I grew up being on set or in showrooms.
My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.
I love every second of being a mom.
It's the best thing ever - I love being a mom. This is my only child. My career was a priority earlier in my life but now my son is definitely the priority.
I think there's a time to work and everyone has to kind of adjust. And then there's a time to relax and be the mom or take the kids on vacation when you need to wind down. So it's a matter of planning and being able to map out your year or your week or let's start with the day. It is just being multi-tasking and being available.
They see me as being this Super Mom on TV who also can more than handle a difficult husband and they assume I'm going to be just full of wisdom as a mother and wife myself.
I naturally wanted to be saved so when I came home I told my mom I wanted to be confirmed. That's the way I related to it being raised an Episcopalian. I went to Dallas and got confirmed.
For me being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.
My mom is in her mid-60s and has more energy and is more youthful than any human being I know. It's pretty incredible.
Of course I would be depressed sometimes and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist or whatever you want to call it.
I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.
The first few weeks of being a mom were profound not just emotionally but also physically. All the changes you instinctually go through are miraculous.
I love playing moms. It's a lot easier than being a mom I hear.
