When I moved out, my mom and dad came to help me get settled into my apartment - a place I ultimately got hooked up with in Coach Nelson's building. We had to figure out how to get all my shoes over here. That was a little stressful.

I hope that, somewhere, Mom and Dad are proud that little Walter is performing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

I used to work at a school as a teacher's assistant, and my mom is a principal at an elementary school. I don't know, I think that's a pretty good life, teaching kids.

My mom being a psychotherapist, I've been brought up with that whole psychoanalytical terrain.

It's usually my mom who gets on me about my facial hair. I can't grow a good mustache, so I guess it's just a neck beard. I just have trouble growing up there.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

My mom loved to sing - and I'll go on record and say she was the worst singer ever. I'd get up and move away from her!

I don't know if I found soccer or if soccer found me. Especially because when I was younger, I was doing it, in a lot of ways, because I wanted the attention of my mom and dad.

My mom and dad were divorced, and although they got along very well, my mom thought American television was reprehensible, so I was raised on the BBC. I kind of agreed with her. We watched American news, though.

I kept telling my mom that reading comic books would pay off.

My mom is a teacher, my dad was a writer for television, his dad was a writer for television, and combining those two has been sort of the goal of my life.

Being in Australia, I was really sun conscious. For a couple of summers there, I did the baby oil thing, and my my mom said, 'Just don't. You'll regret it.'

I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules of conduct for a normal person, like obeying your mom and dad. Then I got out of high school and moved out of the house, and I just started, for lack of a better term, running free.

I had to work hard to keep up with my mom. That's where I learned it from. She's a freak.

I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.

My mom watches really obscure stuff on IFC. She's a real comedy fan. She knows everything that's going on.

Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.

Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one's own Trojan horse.

My whole life has been nothing but trying to find a way to take care of my mom and take care of my family as quickly as possible.

My mom was a model. She met my dad when he was building the Ritz-Carlton in Colorado and she was modeling there. Although we were very blessed, my parents never wanted us to believe we didn't have to work. They didn't want us to think that our situation would get us through life.

I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can't.

I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.

I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I've been kicked out of every school I've ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.

I have spoken honestly about being born into a home where there was discord and chaos. I saw my mom have a rough time with my dad being very controlling, which is why I push back whenever I feel like someone is trying to box me in. It makes me run for the hills.

I was a bed wetter till very late. My mom used to hang my sheets out the window to dry, and I'd have to run home from school in order to beat the other kids to my house so they wouldn't see them.

I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.

I write about love, but it's me wanting to be in love. I've never been in love. I love my mom, my dad. I want to be in love. I think I have to allow myself to get there. I'm just so in love with music. It's weird. I'm at a crossroads because I want to be in love.

We go to church on Sunday and then have family dinner. My mom usually cooks, and most of the time, it's protein and something else. She will ask us kids what we want!

My mom, Nellie, got me a rosary at church. I don't use it to pray before a competition. I'll just pray normally to myself, but I have it there in case.

I was 24 when Samori was born. His mom was 23.

My mom always had a softer spot for boys, as a lot of Irish women do. If you were a girl, you'd have to sing or wear a pretty dress. But boys could just sit there and be brilliant for sitting there and being boys. It makes you that little bit more forward. Pushy. I was singing, always.

When I was young, all the books were about a Mary Jane and the football player and the prom and ending up with the quiet guy and making your mom happy.

Realizing you're not anything special to the kids is always a great sort of reminder that you're just a regular person. A regular, embarrassing old mom.

Before this DJ thing, I was hopelessly taking things apart to try to figure out how they worked. I'd go mess around with burned-out cars, with my mom's stereo - I was public enemy #1 in my house for that. So my mom noticed that I was interested in this and decided to send me to school so I'd know what I was doing.

Motherhood is at its best when the tender chords of sympathy have been touched.

You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of a family. Just do your job right and your kids will love you.

My mom was at every single game I played as a kid, rain or shine.

I became a mom at 37 and having a child has been an emancipation for me.

My parents separated when I was eight. I grew up with my mom alone.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

My mom and dad decided to homeschool us - I'm one of eight - because they really wanted us to be outside and learn some other fundamentals instead of it being school all day in a classroom.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

I owe much to mother. She had an expert's understanding, but also approached art emotionally.

I honestly don't remember when and why I started calling my mom 'Momsi'. These are family things; it starts for some reason. It's not that I just call her Momsi; I call her other things as well!

Being a mom is hard, but I don't want people to feel like they always have to go straight to the TV dinner or go to the fast food because you have a busy, hectic life.

Bless my mom. Mom is everything to me.

I'm a full-time mom right now and a part-time actress.

When I was seven, my mom would come home every day, and I would have the phone book open to talent agencies, and I would have them highlighted.

I shoplifted. I was about five years old, and I took a candy from a store. We paid for three of them, but I took four, and I went home and cried. My mom took me back, and I paid for the missing piece.

One of the things that impacted me the most was in the 12th grade. I just assumed I would get the lead in the musical. Well, I didn't get it; I got the second lead, and I was devastated... my mom said something like, 'Often the supporting character is better.'
