I went to see ‘Phantom of the Opera’ with my grandma and my mom when I was very little. The stage            the voice       the music… Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been a massive inspiration to me for some time – the storytelling           that deliciously somber undertone in his music.|Lady Gaga

My problem is that my imagination won’t turn off. I wake up so excited I can’t eat breakfast. I’ve never run out of energy. It’s not like OPEC oil; I don’t worry about a premium going on my energy. It’s just always been there. I got it from my mom.|Steven Spielberg

Whatever’s coming out   you try and make it all cool.|Aaron Neville

My real name is Joseph Herbert. My dad is white; my mom’s Asian   Filipino. And when I started stand-up 22 years ago          I used to go up as Joseph Herbert and I would just have to defend my name. Every time I went onstage   it was so annoying. People would heckle.|Jo Koy

I would never put myself before my mom.|Baker Mayfield

One thing my mom used to tell me was to look to the other side          and know that my present is not going to be everything. So if I’m having a bad day         she goes        ‘Just imagine tomorrow. This is going to be over. This is going to be done with.’|Tyra Banks

When I was seven and told my mom         ‘I’m gonna be a writer         ‘ she said        ‘Oh     that’s a terrible idea. You’ll live in misery and die teaching other people’s children badly.’ My parents wanted the safer path for me and I think they failed miserably achieving that.|Stephen Gaghan

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.|Queen Latifah

A little secret – I’m the child of a shrink. I am; my mom’s a shrink      and my father’s a lawyer. So believe me     I analyze and negotiate. That is a huge amount of the director’s work especially when you’re working with people who – such a variety.|Adam Shankman

I was watching TV at age 9 or 10  and my mom said that I came from the front room and I told her that I want to act. And she said if you want to do this at 18       then you can.

My mom’s the best.|Rick Ross

I quit wrestling in 2006 because I just got lost. My mom didn’t want me wrestling. I was wondering if I was going to make it in wrestling; I got injured in a match. I was 19.

I remember my mom saying           ‘I will take you to every audition  I will support you    but the minute you stop caring about it      I will stop.’|Justin Timberlake

When I was younger it’s like          ‘Mom works. Normal adult stuff.’ But you mature and start to look at it differently. I watched my mom struggle. She comes home tired.

My mom always told me if I love what I’m doing           and I’m having fun  then just continue to do it. But if it’s not fun for me anymore  and I’m miserable    then I’m going to go back to Texas and quit it all        to be honest.|Selena Gomez

I have great faith that Heaven’s there and I’ll see my brothers and my mom and dad when I get there.|Ernie Harwell

My mom is an actress          but she never really pushed me into it      and it was never something I thought I would be doing.

I’ve struggled a lot in my life with feeling like a failure. I lived in a ‘prison of perfectionism         ‘ holding myself to a standard I couldn’t possibly live up to. Then I became a mom    and all of a sudden            there arose even more opportunities for failure.|Sarah Drew

My mom is a nurse; my dad is a pediatrician.

At the start of each week     I generally cook a box of quinoa  and while it’s simmering     I saute onions garlic and any veggies I have on hand in a separate pan.

My mom has always put everyone before herself and sacrificed things unimaginable.|DeAndre Hopkins

It occurred to me then that my dad was kind of special; he’s still one of my favorite writers.|Andre Dubus III

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I’m 42 thank you. I didn’t want to do that to my son.

I want to be around for him.|Sherri Shepherd

My father was a Gujarati and my mom Turkish.|Jackie Shroff

Most children – I know I did when I was a kid – fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don’t tell their real parents about that – you don’t want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child       I think. I was a liar.|Maurice Sendak

One time        my mom told us       ‘No TV.’ It was 3 P.M.        and I was sneaking it in. She put her hand on the back of the TV to see if it was warm            and it was.

My parents are both very funny but they’re also relatively soft-spoken           normal human beings while I’m just a lunatic. I don’t know where this loud     ballsy hammy ridiculousness came from.

I was 3 and a half     and there was an open call for a Coca-Cola commercial. We were living around Dallas and my mom took me.

But I always had a rope    and I was a little cowboy at that age.|Jesse Plemons

Having a baby makes me grateful that I work for a company that does give you four months’ leave. And my heart breaks for women that don’t get that time with their child.

It’s a fun uphill struggle       making health insurance as a comedian   actor  and Chris Gethard. But it’s hard to explain to people how I make a living.

Stand-up is a weird animal. There are people who really want to know what you think about things            your opinion on life.

My mom had early rap records      like Jimmy Spicer. In the middle of the records was a turntable and a receiver – I used to scratch records on it – and on top was a reel-to-reel.

In the beginning        my blog was exclusively read by my mom.|Molly Yeh

My mum is    like    my biggest fan         and she’s the one who will basically do all the publicity for me back home… She’ll constantly be talking to me saying        ‘Dan   what’s going on?

Every day      my mom and I would watch a different Judy Garland VHS. I love how she tells a story when she sings.

I feel like that doesn’t happen that much anymore.|Ariana Grande

My mom Marina and I were poor and hungry. We could sometimes not afford to eat – seriously. We lived together in a small town        called Berdyansk     in Ukraine. I was an only child. I don’t think we would have survived if there had been more kids.|Olga Kurylenko

I have always loved music. My mom used to sing with my sister and I when I was younger          and I was in choirs and loved to perform         but when I was in college  I went on a study abroad to Trinidad         and while I was there          I sang backup at my first concert.|Rachel Platten

I have the biggest sweet tooth! You name it         I will eat it. My all-time favorite is my mother’s butter cake.

I don’t care because she probably does!|Michael Strahan

I really loved it.|Brie Larson

My daughter is the most normal towards me. For her    I am just her mom. I am just a regular mom            and the actor comes after that. If she likes something that I am wearing        she tells me   and if she doesn’t she still makes it a point to let me know.|Karisma Kapoor

Hug your mom. Hug your mom and thank your mom.|Brian Tyree Henry

It wasn’t so long ago that I was a working mom myself.

Reading has made me more open  has improved my understanding   and has made me a better artiste            but it also makes me live in my own bubble. My mom keeps asking me        ‘What do you read in that room the whole day?’ Once I am into a book       I will finish it.|Sonam Kapoor

One of my best friends growing up was Vietnamese      and he and his mom would teach me how to say certain things so I could impress my nail girls.

My beliefs and my faith are part of who I am      and I’m so grateful that I had the foundation laid early on. My mom took me to church from my earliest memories     so I’m grateful to have had that foundation laid early           and it’s just part of who I am.|Jay DeMarcus

As a mom      you do what you have to do without even thinking about it.|Kassie DePaiva

For the sexuality thing         I really feel like the reason I speak so blunt about it is because I held it in for so long. I never told my mom. I never told my family. I kept it to myself.

I just want to be a good mom who makes her little girl proud.|Jamie Lynn Spears

I really saw my mom advocate on my behalf and really say      ‘Hey   you’re good enough.’ It was from her that I learned that just because something hasn’t been done before           it doesn’t mean it can’t be done now. You have to speak up   and you’ve got to assert yourself because it takes somebody to be the first one to make it happen.|Kimberly Guilfoyle

I used to write about experiences that a 20-year-old would write about – going out with your friends            having a drink. You know  things were a little bit sexier in a different way.

Starting in my teens I was always standing on the corner near our apartment singing harmony with friends. We’d also go to the park and sing under the bridge near the lake for the echo.

The thing that’s really kept me on my toes is how my mom would always tell me – it’s not the best thing for a mother to tell you – but she’d never tell me after I’d lose a soccer game ‘You’ll do better next time.’ She’d always say        ‘There’s always somebody better.’|Brandon Flowers
