One time my mom tried to ground me, but that lasted 15 minutes.
My mom said to me: ‘Sonny, you need to study English.’ And I replied to her: ‘Mom, I do not need it. I’m going to be horse-boy, would I speak English with horses?’ Mom said: ‘Darling, you need to.’ But I did not listen to my mother.
My mom would always play me a lot of late-’50s, late-’60s rock.
When I was born, I was born very prematurely so I was very tiny and small. And so, my mom just nicknamed me Pixie, like a little fairy.
My mom is from Cuba, my dad is from Spain, and I grew up in Miami. So there’s maybe a little more flair in me than typical Silicon Valley types.
My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.
I grew up in a makeup chair. And to see the women around me getting ready was so aspirational. It’s about mothers and daughters, a girl watching her mom at a vanity table.
As a mom, I’m always balancing my life. I want to teach people the way I balance it, and really teach women how to stay fit and take care of themselves.
I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.
Every single second of every single day… I don’t know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I’m always plagued with, ‘Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?’
My hat was pulled down and this girl said ‘Are you really him?’ I whispered ‘Yeah, I’m really him.’ She screamed, ‘Mom! Dad! It’s Heath Ledger!
The best part of being a mom to me is the unconditional love. I have never felt a love as pure, a love that’s as rewarding.
I had a very lovely childhood, and, being an only child, I’m very close to my mom and my dad.
I grew up in a very religious household. My mom was a church organist. I was a religious kid.
My mom put me in dance classes when I was 5 years old.
Well, my mom is Japanese. She moved to the U.S. when she was a teenager. And so, her food is – she did all of the cooking at home for the most part.
My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.
I have to admit I was dismayed when I found out ‘type A’ refers to a category of risk for heart disease – I thought it was just a nickname my mom gave me!
My mom is an incredibly direct person, and I like things to make sense.
I miss my mom and dad. They brought me into this world and I wish they were with me on my birthday. So I don’t celebrate it much.
At home, my mom and my dad shared equally in the responsibilities of the family and our home and always demonstrated the importance of men and women having an equal role.
I have my name Cory on my left arm, and I have my mom’s name on my right with a cross. She passed away while I was still in high school, so I got that on my right arm.
I grew up watching movies and television, and one day, when I was really young, I told my mom I wanted to become an actor, and she was really supportive and got me involved in local theater and commercials.
What makes me laugh is hearing the stuff about my son or the stuff about my mom. I was a big fan of Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy; they talked a lot about their moms and their kids. Those are the things that inspired me to do stand-up.
I tried being a stay-at-home mom for eight weeks. I like the stay-at-home part. Not too crazy about the mom aspect.
