I have a role now that I think becomes me. I am a grandmother.
Some of the best kids I coach were raised by a grandmother who was so firm that they understood.
I don't feel like a grandmother. I don't.
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
My family has always been very close. Ever since I was a kid, everybody was always together, including my grandma. In the mornings, my mom would work, and my grandma would help me get ready and would walk me to school. We were all so close to her.
If you have a 2-year-old who is non-verbal, don't wait until you get a diagnosis at 4. The child needs one-on-one teaching with an effective teacher now. This can be a grandmother or a teacher or someone from the community. Grandmothers are especially great. There are a lot of grannies around. Go to your church for help.
When you do a film with somebody who's my age - which is always the role of a mother or a grandmother - despite of well-defined characters, you don't get to play a very large part as the main leads get prominence.
I watched a ton of TV because I was raised by a single mom and spent a lot of time with my grandmother. Like most grandparents do, she would spend hours and hours in front of the TV box.
I've had my share of villains and played some fairly nasty characters. But I've been acting for so long. I started out as the girl next door. Now I'm the grandmother next door.
She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to their lives, and I am sad they will miss out on that.
A grandma's name is little less in love than is the doting title of a mother.
The proliferation of support groups suggests to me that too many Americans are growing up in homes that do not contain a grandmother. A home without a grandmother is like an egg without salt.... The emotionally satisfying discussions that take place in Chronic Pain Outreach and Depression Resources are simply updated versions of the grandmotherly practice of hanging crepe. We could eliminate much of the isolation that support groups exist to fill and save the "traditional family" that everybody is so worried about if more couples took their aging parents to live with them.
When I met Mrs. Clinton, I met the mom that she is, I met the daughter that she is, I met the grandma that she is.
I was brought up by two women: my mother and my grandmother.
I never thought my first role in a film would be a grandmother.
If you want to civilize a man, begin with his grandmother.
It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with gourmet status.
A home without a grandmother is like an egg without salt.
I think the first 10 years of my daughter's life were my mother's happiest, because she could finally have carefree time with a kid.
Being a grandmother is one of the least strange things in my life. It makes more sense than a lot of things... like photo shoots!
