The biggest musical influence on me was my mum. We were both enraptured by music.

When I was younger, I was like, 'I want to be on Playboy.' My mum was a Playmate.

I'm a West Indian mum and West Indian mums will go to the wall for their children.

I found it hard being a full-time mum and take my hat off to anyone who can do it.

My mum is about five foot with her hair done. Without it she's about four foot 10.

I used to sing Chaka Khan tunes in the car with my mum when I was eight years old.

My mum asked me what I prefer, and I said, 'I never miss film, but I miss theater.'

I'm a happy mum. I didn't think it was in the cards for me, so I feel very blessed.

I think Mum's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him.

My mum always told me, 'Have something to fall back on' and I never really listened.

Genetically, I'm like my mum, and she looked great right up until her death in 1989.

I'm so thankful that Mum taught me to cook, because not every day is a takeaway day.

My roots are Scottish. My dad's parents are from Scotland, and my mum's dad is Scots.

I don't want to be a great chief executive without being a great mum and a great wife.

People always ask is it hard being an entrepreneur and a mum, and the answer is 'yes.'

Mum would have a panic attack if she had to stand up and give a speech around a table.

I know I can count on my mum and brother to be there for me through good and bad times.

The first time my mum and dad went to the theatre was at my drama school in third year.

Mum was always hard-working. She came over from Spain and bought her own council house.

Because I see my mum and dad as such amazing friends, I think I'll be a really good dad.

Mum once told Dad that vices are only vices when looked at through the frame of society.

My dad left home when I was super young, so it was my mum bringing me and my brother up.

I'm a horrendous cook; my mum does my meals. I can only cook beans on toast with cheese.

From my family, my mum, auntie and nan were all strong women and why I am who I am today.

My mum brought me up to think that personal happiness is more important than your family.

I would love to be a mum if I'm blessed to have children. My wife and I have those plans.

I grew up being very interested in Greek mythology because my mum read to my sister and I.

My earliest memory is of sitting at Mum's dance school, watching her teach a ballet class.

I don't like being weak in front of my mum or anyone for that matter. I don't like crying.

I want to be the best mum and I want everything to be perfect - I want a fairy tale really.

Nothing beats having this beautiful child look at me and say mum. I get soppy all the time.

Modeling is always something I've really admired because I've seen my mum and sister do it.

I'm one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.

My mum [who has breast cancer] is a fighter. I've got that from her, I know she's a fighter.

I want to be a young mum and if I didn't have to work I'd have them tomorrow. I'd like three!

I trust my mum with anything. If I have a problem, my mum is always the first person I go to.

Mum had a job fitting upholstery into cars, but, in the evenings, she worked as a seamstress.

My mum and I are, in many ways, quite similar. We're both creative, gregarious, and energetic.

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.

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

At a young age, I was introduced to Joni Mitchell by my mum. My dad was into progressive rock.

If my mum thinks I'm acting like a diva she'll soon tell me off... She'll cut me down to size!

I am like a friend to my children, but when things get out of hand, the 'mum' in me springs up!

When I was young, my mum was part of a brilliant puppet theatre that toured all over the world.

People think I just dropped out of university and went, 'Mum, Dad, get me a job in television.'

Mum's a worrier, she looked after everybody apart from herself - I think it runs in the family.

It's very nice having my mum as my agent. You know that she's always doing what's best for you.

What I think is remarkable about my mum and dad is they had no interest in films, really. None.

My dad is Chinese/Malaysian and my mum is Austrian, so food was always a big deal in our house.

I love the smell of a real Christmas tree - also, my mum's Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.
