I realized I didn't want there to be anything left unsaid with my mom. I didn't want there to be questions that I still had about who she was and what her life was like. And I didn't want her to have questions about me as an adult.

I looked at my mom and her life, and I thought, 'I don't want that.' I don't think my mom wanted it, either. I think my mom did want to be out there and have a career. She loved working. As soon as we were old enough to feed ourselves, she was out.

If your mom is still around, you're so lucky.

My mom is not trying to live vicariously through me.

To realize that your mother's love life has been far more interesting than one's own is a weird thing to discover.

My mom has always just been one of those people who handle adversity and challenges, and really everything, with so much grace and elegance. I saw it all the time.

If I lived alone, Mom'd never sleep because she wouldn't know I was okay.

I luckily had a very charming, lovable mom who I think everybody could see bits and pieces of their mom in.

My mother set us to an activity and let us be.
