I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it that's the sad thing about depression. You know you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void.

If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me I could fit in at least one maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.

They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.

Make the most of your regrets never smother your sorrow but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.

I said 'Brian no one is going to respect me as a mother after this.' He said 'oh no yes they will this is a movie don't worry about it.' But they're not.

I have two sisters and a mother obviously so I grew up with a household of girls. Maybe I have a greater respect for women because of it.

I'm just one woman away my mother from being the same as Mike Tyson. I would've ended up like him if my mama had not been so tough and strong. A lot of people including Mike don't know I came from the ghetto. They think I'm too nice and proper. But that's the way my mama raised me - to look people in the eye and respect them.

I can remember when I was a baby and my mother was there watching the show. I went and bought 100 episodes and watched them. I respect it so much that the sitcom itself and Ed Norton I'm not playing Ed Norton but my version of it cause I'm a black man.

My mother is very very smart and commands respect because she has a lot of respect for herself.

I always remember having a healthy respect for my grandmother.

I want to say a little something that's long overdue the disrespect to women has got to be through. To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends I wanna offer my love and respect till the end.

Men who love their mothers treat women wonderfully. And they have enormous respect for women.

Religion is no more the parent of morality than an incubator is the mother of a chicken.

My mother was a modern woman with a limited interest in religion. When the sun set and the fast of the Day of Atonement ended she shot from the synagogue like a rocket to dance the Charleston.

The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.

My first memories of religion were being taken to Episcopal church. My father was Catholic but my mother I believe was Episcopal. So I sort of veered off into the watered-down version of Catholicism.

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

I'm working on my relationship with my mother and father but my upbringing has been very destructive.

I wish I had a great relationship with my mother.

I was raised by a single mother and I've been in a 10-year relationship with my girlfriend. My whole life I've been surrounded by women.

First of all returning from motherhood I was looking for something lighter and I wasn't as much attracted to Kate as I was to the relationship between the two people.

Even though I'm not with their mother it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.

The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex.
