Everything I am is because of my mom.

I work too much to be an appropriate parent. I feel like a bad mom to my dog some days because I'm just not here enough. I just feel like I would do a bad job if I took the time to literally give birth to a kid right now and try and juggle everything I'm doing.

I think because I became a mom later in life everything in life means more.

There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time stay-at-home mom and feeling guilty about that because I work.

I remember getting this scrapbook that this girl made that I actually gave to my mom to hold onto because she has a 'Twilight' shrine in their house in Florida. It was just this scrapbook of me starting with 'Twilight ' and the whole progression of me and my career throughout that and other stuff that I had done in between.

When I was 15 I worked at a dry cleaner because I wanted Abercrombie & Fitch jeans. My mom told me I could have $20 jeans not $70 jeans unless I was willing to work for them. So I did!

Sunscreen is my number 1 2 3 4 and 5 tip. I'm a fanatic partially because I live in L.A. and have fair skin and freckles and partially because of my kids. My mom always made me wear sunscreen and I'm trying to be that mom for them.

There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You're embarrassed by your parents and you're trying to find your independance because deep inside you are so dependent on your mom.

I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

The 'believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.

My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper.

God blessed me with two unbelievable parents and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom because she wants to save the world and help the world so I am just like her.

I want to be as healthy as I can because I'm a mom now.

I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.

My mom used to make everything. She had a great garden and composted and made everything from scratch - peanut butter bread jelly everything. I don't know how she did it because all those things take time and love and labour. I only do half the stuff she does - but there's still time.

I feel like a good mom. I'm a strong woman now... Don't look down on me. Pray for me because I'm trying.

The best situation is being a single parent. The best part about is that you get time off too because the kids are with their mom so it's the best of both worlds. There's a lot to be said for it.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

When I was 5 some financial things happened and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say 'Don't get comfortable because we may not be here long.'

I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive but I have photographs of her.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

CNN found that Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America. Women admire her because she's strong and successful. Men admire her because she allows her husband to cheat and get away with it.

Punishment is now unfashionable... because it creates moral distinctions among men which to the democratic mind are odious. We prefer a meaningless collective guilt to a meaningful individual responsibility.
