Pastoral Resources

I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

For example, when my mother died, the people who showed up just to put an apron on to cook, people who really do the right thing, so to speak, as my momma would always say to show that they care, a sense of community that we've lost so much in our country.

Religion is no more the parent of morality than an incubator is the mother of a chicken.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.

My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.

When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.

Somehow, the things my mother wanted to do, the release in evangelism she sought with such frenzy, were transferred to me.

You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of a family. Just do your job right and your kids will love you.

Passion has always been important to me. That won't change. What changes in a woman's perspective. I mean, I have two kids now. I'm a single parent balancing motherhood and my career. That changes the equation.

One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Mothers are the necessity of invention.

The biggest place I look for validation is from my mother. That's the little girl in me that will never grow up.

Whatever is said about roles drying up, I intend to keep working. Certainly now the roles couldn't be more interesting - playing mothers, divorcees. I think it's going to be exciting to play a mother of teenagers. The longer your life, the deeper it gets.

Being a mother is hard and it wasn't a subject I ever studied.

Like any working mother I find it hard to have a social life. But my kids are so well adjusted. There isn't a brat bone in their body so I haven't done anything that bad.

I have to keep reminding myself that I am their mother. Sometimes we are sitting at home and I feel like we are waiting for our mom to come home.

I wanted to play a mother again. I thought it would be interesting to play the mother of an older child. And it was also the kind of part I've been looking for my whole career, actually, in film. You know, just to play a femme fatale who's very smart, and wicked.

My mother and I took over abandoned buildings to sleep in.
