It was my mother's idea. Her feeling was that I didn't have the intelligence to pick a trade myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I'd made up my mind early on in life that I never wanted to be a mother.
To realize that your mother's love life has been far more interesting than one's own is a weird thing to discover.
Becoming a mother has been the best experience of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
She was a genius, my mother.
My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.
I wanted to marry a girl just like my mom.
My mother was a very wise and strong person.
My mother gave me a sense of independence, a sense of total confidence that we could do whatever it was we set out to do. That's how we were raised.
I always had the intuition, even as a little child, that I was called for a big project.
I looked at my mom and her life, and I thought, 'I don't want that.' I don't think my mom wanted it, either. I think my mom did want to be out there and have a career. She loved working. As soon as we were old enough to feed ourselves, she was out.
