I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong; she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education.

I'm really close to my mother. She sacrificed a lot for me and my sister. She gave up her career. Whatever I am today is due to the values my mother instilled in me.

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

Above all, there is Mother. She taught me how to love, how to have respect for other people.

I believe my father has and always will be the strongest influence in my life, as he has guided me on many paths.

My mother was the greatest example to me of anyone I've ever known. She didn't have an easy life. I adored her. She worked hard all her life, and she was the one who set my values. She was quite an amazing woman, although she wasn't tough at all.

Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice, lust, and drinking that was all about me.

My mother was a great inspiration to me to always do my best. My father has always been my mentor and friend. They taught me the basic principle that guides most all that I do: faith, focus, finish.

Naturally, I do things my own way but I'm certainly influenced by my mother's way of doing things.
