Text Quotes
My mother was a restorer, she repaired broken things. I don’t do that. I destroy things. I cannot go the straight line. I must destroy, rebuild, destroy again. My rhythm is not the same. My mother moved in a straight line: I go from one extreme to the other  (My Mother Quotes) My mother used to pitch to me and my father would shag balls. If I hit one up the middle close to my mother, I’d have some extra chores to do. My mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter  (My Mother Quotes) As your mother tells you, and my mother certainly told me, it is important, she always used to say, always to try new things  (My Mother Quotes) I inherited depression from my mother’s side of the family. Her father committed suicide. She committed suicide the year before I went to the moon  (My Mother Quotes) It’s sort of scary to work with your parents when you’re in the same business. But there was something so very safe about that. Acting with her was just like working with a wonderful actress who just happens to be my best friend and also my mother  (My Mother Quotes) I started riding bikes when I was really young, but I stopped when I was 19 because my mother asked me to, so I stopped riding for 35 years and now I’m just addicted. It is my only addiction  (My Mother Quotes) My mother told me, you don’t have to put anything in your mouth you don’t want to. Then she made me eat broccoli, which felt like double standards  (My Mother Quotes) Family holidays and weekends are really brightly colored memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs  (My Mother Quotes) I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I’m thankful for her. All I know is that when I’m a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents  (My Mother Quotes) My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons  (My Mother Quotes) My grandmother spent her whole life working as a maid, a cook and a babysitter, barely scraping by, but still working hard to give my mother, her only child, a chance in life, so that my mother could give my brother and me an even better one  (My Mother Quotes) Growing up, I thought my grandfather was dead. Later, I learned he was alive, but my family pretended he didn’t exist because of the terrible way he’d abused my grandmother and my mother. He did things like shave my grandmother’s head and lock her in a closet. With my mother’s help, my grandmother finally left him  (My Mother Quotes) My mother was very involved with me. And we had a dialogue constantly. And it was like an umbilical cord. As long as the words were flowing back and forth we were connected and feeding each other. And I probably grew up very afraid of losing that connection  (My Mother Quotes) When I heard that one in four women is affected by domestic violence in their lifetime, I was horrified. That’s why this campaign is so important. A real man is happy to support the women in his life and appreciate them. My mother and my sisters are so important to me. Violence just doesn’t make any sense  (My Mother Quotes) My mother had always told her kids: if you’re about to do something, and you want to know if it’s a bad idea, imagine seeing it printed in the paper for all the world to see  (My Mother Quotes) And then, into the fantasy, as into a dream, would come the thought: it’s not like this anymore; the world has changed. Just the way, even at that time fully two years after my mother’s death, I’d catch myself thinking about her as alive; and would suddenly remember, an admonitory finger of grief upon my breast, that she was gone  (My Mother Quotes) Every change is a form of liberation. My mother used to say a change is always good even if it’s for the worse  (My Mother Quotes) My mother helped me understand how not to show off what I knew, but how to use it so that others might benefit  (My Mother Quotes) My father was a proctologist and my mother was an abstract artist, so that’s how I view the world  (My Mother Quotes) I reached a time in college when I didn’t know what I wanted to do. At that time, women’s careers were essentially nursing, secretarial and teaching. My mother advised me to get my teacher’s certificate  (My Mother Quotes) I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister... because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them  (My Mother Quotes) My mother…was perfectly horrified when I began shooting and tried to keep me in school, but I would run away and go quail shooting in the woods or trim my dresses with wreaths of wildflowers  (My Mother Quotes) Both my mother and I were determined that we weren’t going to stay on welfare. We always worked toward doing better, toward having a better life. We never had any doubts that we would  (My Mother Quotes) And this is how it started. Just with coffee and the exchange of their long stories. Love can be incremental. Predicaments, too. Coffee can start a life just as it can start a day. This was the meeting of two people who were destined to love from before they were born, from before they made choices that would complicate their lives. This love just rolled toward my mother as though she were standing at the bottom of a steep hill. Mother had no hand in this, only heart  (My Mother Quotes) Any place, then, can become a cemetery. All it takes is your body. It’s not fair, I think, and I get this petulant wish for ugly flowers and mourners, my mother’s old familiar grief. Somebody I love to tend my future grave. Probably this is the wrong thing to be wishing for  (My Mother Quotes) Because I feel no anger toward my mother. Only loss, and loss is a feeling you can’t fight your way out of as easily  (My Mother Quotes) Even now, when I go over to my mother’s house and dig out the old tracksuit tops I wore, it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I like to think I am part of a special family. I am no longer connected with the club on a daily basis, but I’m delighted with every win and sad about every defeat  (My Mother Quotes) My young men shall never work, men who work cannot dream; and wisdom comes to us in dreams. You ask me to plow the ground. Shall I take a knife and tear my mothers breast? Then when I die she will not take me to her bosom to rest. You ask me to dig for stone. Shall I dig under her skin for her bones? Then when I die I cannot enter her body to be born again. You ask me to cut grass and make hay and sell it and be rich like white men. But how dare I cut off my mother’s hair  (My Mother Quotes) My mother insured that a life of petty facts and dutiful farming was kept at bay by her passionate intensity, which nurtured the essential dreaminess of his nature  (My Mother Quotes) My mother always read to me as a child. I really believe that bonding time between a parent and child is so important and precious. I have lasting memories of those stories because the experience was special  (My Mother Quotes)
