Everything in my life boils down to my mother. A tradition, which a lot of people do not know of, is that while I'd give my father the money I earned, anything that was special to me - like an award or an album - would be given to my mother.

I'm immensely grateful for the precious gift my mother has given me. She is my hero today and every day.

Our mothers give us so many gifts. They give us the precious gift of life, of course, but they also leave treasured lessons that can guide us along our journeys even when they are no longer with us.

My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.

The nicest part of the prize, perhaps, is the effect on my friends and family. Each of them feels proud and happy to have the relationship with me that they do. In a way, it's as though they received an award too, and I like that very much.

My mother is brilliant; she's the best person in the world and keeps me grounded.

My mum's amazing - every time I achieve something in my career, she buys me a diamond earring.

I love and adore being a mother. It's the greatest gift I've ever been given.

I was born with a natural gift. My mother recognized the talent.

One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.
