I’m very boring. I’m a mom. I’m 34 years old.
Mothers and children are human beings, and they will sometimes do the wrong thing.
A woman must combine the role of mother, wife and politician.
I have a personal dream to be a mom, to have a family and all that but – when I do take that break to fulfill it – I want everything else to be so strong and set that people don’t forget me.
My mom cooks traditional Albanian food for every holiday. She’s an amazing cook.
When love is gone, there’s always justice. And when justice is gone, there’s always force. And when force is gone, there’s always Mom. Hi, Mom!
I knew the coronavirus was a real thing, but it really hit home when my aunt died, and it was really hard to watch my mom go through that with her sister.
How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.
In the beginning, my blog was exclusively read by my mom.
My mom means the world to me. She’s always been the one to get me up early for work, help me with my make up and hair, and just be there to support me in whatever I do. She always makes sure that no matter what, I’m happy in what I’m doing.
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
The real beauty of it – key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.
The man in our society is the breadwinner; the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.
I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.
We never had a bathtub. Mom would bathe me in the wooden or tin washtub in the kitchen, or in a big lard can.
My mom says I’m a fighter, a fierce competitor, and I think I am, too.
If you don’t have savings, and your co-founders are as poor as you are, and if Mom and Dad won’t loan you money, then your best bet is to find people that know you – your friends. If they, too, won’t help, then you’re stuck seeking out angel investors.
My mom used to call me a parrot, because the way I spoke would change in every country we’d go to.
My mother stopped working when she had my brother. She was a full time mom until I started getting heavily into ice skating lessons, and it got to the point where they really needed my mom to earn an income.
I was always told I was Daddy’s little girl. In fact, we owned toy stores, and I would run in and want to get the latest toy off the shelf. My mom would say no way, and my dad would say, ‘Get whatever you want, baby.’
My mom was born in Korea – Seoul, Korea, during the ’50s, ’51. She was abandoned; her and my uncle were abandoned. My grandfather was a Seabee and adopted my mom and my uncle, and brought them to Compton in the ’50s. That’s where she was raised.
Without a doubt, the worst part of being a mom is having to floss my kids’ teeth every night. It’s so tedious.
My mom is Irish. She is a poet and a humanitarian who believed in ensuring that people around her had a better life.
My mom always knew I was going to be an actor because I was a ham from the very beginning, so she would push me toward it, which is really unconventional for Indian families to do.
The only time we got sugary cereal was when my mom went away for the weekend and she bought us Frosted Flakes because she wanted us to behave. Otherwise, we were eating shredded wheat, granola, or Grape Nuts.
A lot of people ask why I don’t talk about my dad, and I want to, I just don’t have that many stories. When he moved out, he moved to a different state, so it was just my mom and I.
My dad named me Dakota and my mom came up with my first name Hannah. So it’s Hannah Dakota Fanning.
I know that on my own sites, a picture of me with my mom or me with my dog does well, but when I put up a picture of myself shirtless, it does get a little crazy.
I’m a movie buff. My mom would take me to a double feature. We’d come out, go have Chinese food, and then go back into another cinema and see another double feature. I feel I’m a child of the movies.
My parents split up when I was young, and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn’t some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn’t stand in my way.
I think my mom put it best. She said, ‘Little girls soften their daddy’s hearts.’
My mom watches really obscure stuff on IFC. She’s a real comedy fan. She knows everything that’s going on.
My father was a Gujarati and my mom Turkish.
Sometimes when you are a great mom, you’re not so great at your job. And then when you’re good at your job, you’re not so great of a mom or a good wife. It’s a dance that never stops. But it’s beautiful.
Of course, my mom is my biggest and loudest cheerleader, and my family and friends are happy for me, but I’m still just Angie, not Angie-the-author-with-this-hyped-up-book. I appreciate that.
Motherhood is the only thing in my life that I’ve really known for sure is something I wanted to do.
No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren’t cool, just to establish themselves. That’s what adolescence is about. They’re gonna go through that no matter what.
My mom is very structured. She gets up, she does her prayers, and she eats her oatmeal with blueberries and Greek yogurt, and she has her prayer list, and she doesn’t worry too much about things.
Oh, my mom. She’s one of my biggest fans.
I knew I wanted to become an actor when I was 7 years old. My dad was working with Alfred Hitchcock, my mom was working with Martin Scorsese – and it was the great summer of my childhood.
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.
My parents have done a tremendous job, over the course of my career. They try to make every game and I think my rookie year, my mom made every game… They’ve been really consistent and it’s all you can ask for as a kid.
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
When I was younger, I wouldn’t speak up as much, but now that I’m a mom, things have changed.
If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like, ‘How do we get one of those?’ and she was like, ‘You can’t get a dolphin. What are you gonna do, like, put it in your pool?’
My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.
I definitely want to be a mom.
My greatest role model is my mom because she’s a Renaissance woman. She has had many careers over the course of her life because she really is just an extremely creative, passionate person and is very involved in many different things.
When I was signed by Elite Model Agency, my mom felt it was the right place as it was a professional agency.
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don’t need another plaque.
My mom has always shopped for me. I’m so lucky that I have an in-house stylist.
Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.
When I started go-go dancing on tables for a living, I didn’t want to tell my mom or my dad. I made 25 dollars a night, and I was able to make my rent, with the four girls I lived with.
I’m more comfortable watching ‘Dev D’ with my mom than a film that makes a woman an object whose only purpose is to dance provocatively.
I look up to a strong woman; maybe that’s why I fell for Gaga. She works incredibly hard and is very strong and inspirational like Mom, with a great work ethic.
Fereydun, that’s my dad’s name. My grandmother, my dad’s mom, when she was pregnant, she was dating a man from Persia, a Persian gentleman. It wasn’t his child, but he was still very supportive and said, ‘Hey, this is a great name,’ and so it stuck. So that’s what she named him.
My mother is the most incredible woman on this entire Earth, and she’s so giving and loving and sweet and she always raised me how to forgive and forget and move on. She’s the catalyst behind it all, my mom is. And I’m 100% a momma’s boy!
My mom and dad both would grow vegetables. So, when I delivered my baby, we went there, and she would cook a lot, and we would eat all the vegetables from their garden.
I remember, my mom didn’t have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, we’d just go down to the neighbors’ and she’d give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren’t any latchkey kids.
I am emotional, honest, and sensitive and a great human being because of my dad. Tough and independent woman because of my mom.
My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.
Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they’re fun, they do things together, they’re best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom, they’re going to respect Mom.
