I looked to my mom as an example. And this is what I try to tell so many women: that my mom had a career, and she went to the gym. She took care of herself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.
My mother has been a wonderful model for the professional woman - a loving mother dedicated to both her family and her work. She inspired me, made me proud, and developed in me an enormous respect for women in general.
I look up to my mom. She's a beautiful woman.
My mom is very confident and she was always a role model of mine.
Throughout my life, my mom has been the person that I've always looked up to.
My mother doesn't really embarrass me. Even when I was young. She understands my career.
My mom is one of my role models in a complicated way. I learned from her how to be a good mom. She was one of those natural moms who really took to it. Her chosen profession was teaching. She loves kids. But she was extremely frustrated and unhappy because for much of my life she was a stay-at-home mom.
I always told my mother I wanted a job where I could have a lot of fun and have a lot of time off. She asked me where I was going to find that, and I said, 'I don't know, but it's out there.'
My mother's a... beautiful woman, and I think, in some way, I felt intimidated by that sometimes.
I feel bad that I never discussed my mother's life and times as a career woman with her.
