I'd rather be the protector than the protected. I'm naturally the protector - being a mother and having a famous family. You have to navigate when it's right to protect.

My mother totally protected me as a model. She took me on every look-see, she was there on the set if I wanted her to be.

I always feel, as a mother does, that I protect her. Who will do that when I'm gone?

My mother was very protective of her four boys.

As a mom, I always feel I have to protect them. I talk about them because they are the most important things in my life but they are private people. I won't use them for my own press.

You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.

Mothers and daughters generally have fairly complex relationships, and ours was made much more so by Mother's illness. She had Parkinson's disease, which was not diagnosed for a long time... All that made me very self-protective, because for one thing, I didn't want to get trapped.

The best protection any woman can have... is courage.

A woman's best protection is a little money of her own.

Now, I love playing moms who can't hide their paranoia.
