Mother's interest in contemporary American artists emerged during the 1920s.

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

I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody's mother.

Call me All-American, but I love Ham and Cheese sandwiches. And not just any old ham and cheese sandwich... My mother's is the best. I've tried many times to make these sandwiches on my own, but it's never the same.

My mother thought me being gay was a death sentence.

My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.

When Courtney's mother and I first separated I tried to be Disney Dad, showering her with gifts, trips and then I snapped out of it. You don't have to try to impress your kids. If they're not getting what they need from you, they will let you know.

They wrapped her up like a baby burrito to show to Mom. Here were a mother and her daughter and I love them both so much. I couldn't wait for Courtney to come to the hospital so I could have all my women together.

My mother came from St. Thomas. I heard that melody and all I did was actually adapt it. I made my adaptation of sort of an island traditional melody. It did become sort of my trademark tune.

If you asked anybody in my family, they would have very stridently proclaimed themselves middle class. My mother and father were separated, so he doesn't count.

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

In case of separation, why should the children be taken from the protecting care of the mother? Who has a better right to them than she? How much do fathers generally do toward bringing them up?

I didn't want to become an actress because the competition with my mother would have been to much to live up to.

These same people seem to forget that mother also took a lot of chances with the type of roles she played.

I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother.

But my mother loved The Elephant Man, and my father gave David Lynch a scholarship to study in Rome.

I was dictating to my mother when I was 5.

Nothing is old, nothing is new, save the light of grace underneath which beats a human heart. The way of feeling, of understanding, of loving; the way of seeing the country, the faces that your father saw, that your mother knew. The rest is chimerical.

Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax.

Most turkeys taste better the day after, my mother's tasted better the day before.
