I had long been resistant to doing a documentary about my mother for personal reasons. And I thought there was no way she'd want to, but then I asked her and she said 'yes.'

I'm often accused of saying some pretty rotten things about my mother-in-law. But quite honestly, she's only got one major fault - it's called breathing.

Hatred of the mother is familiar, but the mother's hatred still comes as a surprise.

My mom has gone out of her way in her personal life. She's been with me on the road. She's had to deal with people giving her the 'that's the mom' and arguing. Just little things as a businesswoman.

I feel bad that I never discussed my mother's life and times as a career woman with her.

Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that's the most important relationship in their lives.

I feel betrayed by own mother.

I think my mum has the foulest mouth of anyone I've ever met.

Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around. However, I am a mother who continues to give birth to ideas and ways of experiencing life that challenge the norm.

Our mother was so public - we always talked about her. But with her passing, all of a sudden we don't even want to talk about her.
