Some of the best things in my life have happened to me because I listened to my mother. And some of the worst things in my life have happened to me because I listened to my mother.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother has been the greatest influence on my life, morally. When I get right down to it, my mother and father are two people I can count on no matter what.
My mother thinks I am the best. And I was raised to always believe what my mother tells me.
The best things in life sometimes happen spontaneously.
My mother listened to everything I said, carefully - not that what I said was particularly interesting, but I was her daughter.
One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.
I'm better for all the things that have happened to me, the good and the bad.
My mother really loved me. And one of the gifts that I have been given is that I have never thought for one second of my life that I was not greatly beloved.
Seeing my mother become very strong and very independent had a huge impact on me.
I think one of the worst things that happened to me was, you know, my voluntary fallout with my father. And then the greatest thing that happened to me was when I saw the light, and realized I needed to love him in a way that he could love me back.
My worst moments as a parent have been much like my greatest moments as a parent: the product of complete and perfect accident.
