You have to love your children unselfishly. That's hard. But it's the only way.

I used to think that only a mother could provide unconditional love and make sacrifices.

Motherhood is the greatest thing I've ever done in my life.

Nothing outside of my child is important.

I don't have a father, but my kids tell me every day that they love me... even when I am not in my best mood.

I think being a parent is the most challenging thing you do. That's why we're here. It's at the heart of what it is to be a human being. It's the ultimate experience because it questions everything about who you are. But it's difficult.

Sports saved my life.

I was there at the birth of my son and had the extraordinary feeling when I first saw him of thinking this was the first person I would willingly die for. I had the same strong feelings when my daughter was born.

I'm a mother, and when you have children, there's a protection. You'll do a lot to protect them, to do what's best for them.

I don't think people who have children are acting selfishly or unselfishly. Having a child who'll be loved, to parents who love each other, is the important thing.

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

Once you have children it's love without bounds. You would die for them in an instant, without question. How can you better that?

I don't want to sound corny; everyone tells you what it's going to be like to have kids and you're like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.'

My children were the center of my life.

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.

Like every parent, when you start your family, your life completely changes. And you completely live for someone else. I find that the most extraordinary thing. Your life is handed over to someone else. From that moment on, they come first in every choice you make. It's the most wonderful thing.

That for me was the big turning point in my artistic life, when my wife and I had our kids. The world got infused with morality again. Every person in the world should theoretically be loved as much as I love my daughters.

I really thought that there was going be this moment when a ray of light from heaven would come pouring in, background music would start playing with angels singing, but none of that happens!
