I like being a mother. For some people, it's so much work that it can be a burden. But it's not for me, maybe because I had my daughter, Valentina, later on in life, at 41.

Being a mother is more exhausting than working, and sometimes I push myself too hard and burn myself out. I can appreciate how exhausting it must be for women who have to do everything themselves all the time.

Your empathy for other mothers is such a natural instinct and it's such a beautiful thing that we all connect, and we should all help each other.

...you have to understand that motherhood has to be your priority. It's important work.

Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. 'Oh, I'm just a mom,' you hear women say. 'Just' a mom? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, it's our hope for the future.

A mother's love is stronger than distance, more powerful than time and can transcend the grave.

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'm always around my mother and sisters. I always wanted to be a father, a husband.

I have cooked turkeys in my day but when Mom`s around I let her do it.

I get sent a lot of scripts where you're just the mom.

Usually, the roles that you get offered that are the mom roles are very much the mom role.

My mother was an exuberant, silly lady.

Mother is God in the eyes of a child.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children; and here was one who was worshipping a stone!

My mother is a fish.

My mother refused to let me fail. So I insisted.

I was a bit of a handful when I was a kid because I was quite hyperactive. Even in the house my mum used to put me in my pram because I was so full-on.

You can say whatever you want about me, I'm not really bothered. But when it starts to upset people I care about or I hear about it from my mum, then that's a problem.

"Is not at all uncommon for women in my country to be illiterate, but to see my mother, a proud and intelligent woman, struggle to read the prices in the bazaar was an unspoken sadness for both of us, I think."

"My mother always told me,"hide your face-people are looking at you".I would reply,"it does not matter;I am also looking at them"

God blessed me with two unbelievable parents, and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom, because she wants to save the world and help the world, so I am just like her.
