Mother Quotes
-
When you're working and you're busy and you're successful, no matter what, something suffers, whether it's your relationship with your mother, your relationship with your whole family.

A lot of people, when they're chasing their dreams, they have to leave people they love.

My mother was totally different from the mothers of my friends. She would never separate from me. In a way, my life belongs to her.

You have kids growing up in some of the worst circumstances financially, living in some of the worst ghettos, and they succeed. They succeed because an adult figure, typically a mother, maybe a grandmother, nourishes the kid, supports the kid, protects the kid, encourages the kid to succeed. It's as if the environment never happened.
