Well, my mom is single and we've both been single at the same time over the last ten years, so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane's.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a very wonderfully, bizarrely amazing relationship with my mother in that we've been through a myriad of emotions because we've acted together and played all these different kinds of mother-daughters.
My mother has always been the social glue holding the family together.
I've always been way closer to my mom. I'm close to my dad, but they're totally different kinds of relationships.
I grew up with my mom; it was just the two of us.
My mom and dad? Oh, they were a fiery pair. They stayed together for the kids and also because they were hopelessly in love with each other, but they were totally incompatible.
I'm very close to my mother, but not a single other person in my family.
I've always stayed really close with my mother and my father.
I'm lucky to be married to someone who entirely gets what I do. She is totally sympathetic to the actor's life. Her own mother was an actress, so she sort of grew up with it.
My mom and I have always been very close since she did raise me as, like, a single mom. My friends and everyone I know are like, 'Wow, you guys really have a really good relationship.' She's with me a lot of the time, so people find that kind of shocking.
The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise.
