My mom says I was born screaming.

I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.

My mother was passionate. She was stubborn, the dominant one in the family. She dominated my father.

My mother was a passionate, complicated, sometimes fierce woman.

My parents split up when I was about 2. I realize more and more how much I'm like my father. My gentleness comes from my mother.

I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.

My mother was adorable, a great giggler. My father was very strong and could be quite frightening.

When I was a kid, my mother's parenting style teetered between benign neglect and intense bouts of violence.

I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.

We were never intimate mother and children while she was our mother - but... when she became our child, the affection came.
