Natalia Vodianova Quotes

Love is staying up all night with a sick child - or a healthy adult.

Having a family, taking care of your kids and people outside yourself, maybe it's motivated me more to give that extra something.

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

Being a mother is magical.

I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.

I think the most important thing I have done in my life is to raise two boys.

Being a mom has made me a better person. It's made me more compassionate. It's just awesome. I think I was put here to be a mom.

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

Motherhood informs my work 100 per cent.

Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.

Babies make you do things for them. They get you up and they get you moving.
