Text Quotes
When I was four years old, my mother put me into a school for early music education where you get perfect pitch and harmony and composition  (My Mother Quotes) My playground was the theatre. I’d sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that’s pretty seductive  (My Mother Quotes) I grew up in a house full of women: my mother, grandmother, three sisters, and two female cats.

Those times helped shape who I became  (My Mother Quotes) My mother wanted me off her hands. She was a working woman. She designed clothes, and she was a celebrity collector. It’s my mother’s ambition to be a celebrity  (My Mother Quotes) I saw my mother in a different light. We all need to do that. You have to be displaced from what’s comfortable and routine, and then you get to see things with fresh eyes, with new eyes  (My Mother Quotes) My mother had a very difficult childhood, having seen her own mother kill herself. So she didn’t always know how to be the nurturing mother that we all expect we should have  (My Mother Quotes) How gladly would I meet mortality, my sentence, and be earth in sensible! How glad would lay me down, as in my mother’s lap! There I should rest, and sleep secure  (My Mother Quotes) I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her  (My Mother Quotes) I always felt like an outsider growing up. In school, I felt like I never fit in. But it didn’t help when my mother, instead of buying me glue for school projects, would tell me to just use rice  (My Mother Quotes) My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist  (My Mother Quotes) My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme; although it’s not symbolically necessarily present, it’s present in all my relationships  (My Mother Quotes) My mother is a special education teacher but also an artist, and my father an advertising executive. They are about as wacky as you can get without being alcoholics  (My Mother Quotes) Our family was on the lunatic fringe. My mother was always completely irrepressible.

She just knew that I was destined to be an actress  (My Mother Quotes) Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it  (My Mother Quotes) My mother’s career was over at 40 but she was still trying to be everyone’s buddy, always smiling for the cameras  (My Mother Quotes) I’m not the only one; most people’s mothers are the most influential person in their life. But my mother survived the camps, and she was very strong. She made me strong, but she wanted me to be strong. That’s more important  (My Mother Quotes) I’ve felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father’s family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father  (My Mother Quotes) If I had to imagine omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power in the universe that chose to make my mother suffer, I don’t know how I would make that make sense in the universe  (My Mother Quotes) I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs.
