My mother was a very difficult woman to please. She was the sort of woman who thought that if I were praised I would get above myself.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'

When I asked my mother why crowds shouted my name and said 'We love you,' she would dust it off by saying, 'Your work makes them happy.' She never let it go to my head.

My mother tried her best to give us a sense of self-esteem.

My mother made me truly appreciate women.

Being an only child, my mother reared me very carefully.

The mother-in-law came round last week. It was absolutely pouring down. So I opened the door and I saw her there and I said, 'Mother, don't just stand there in the rain. Go home.'

My mother didn't know what to do with me.
