Quote

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

My mother was the love of my life.

My mother was one of the most dynamic and brilliant women I have ever known. She was also mercurial and unfocused.

But I was very, very unhappy because my mother was very charming and generous, but to me, very dominating.

My mother is a strong, wonderful woman. I could never be anything she didn't want me to be.

My grandmother was very fierce and gruff. She was quite small, but she was very wide.

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.

I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.

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.

My mother's a... beautiful woman, and I think, in some way, I felt intimidated by that sometimes.
