Mothers are all slightly insane.

I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.

Mothers and children are human beings, and they will sometimes do the wrong thing.

Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.

The thing about dads is, even when they're very good, they don't do anything like as much as most mums do.

All mothers go through the exact same things.

My mom drives me crazy sometimes, but I have a good relationship with her.

I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.

What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.

Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that's the most important relationship in their lives.
