A good friend of mine was Lucy Ball. Her mother and my mother were best friends.
Any film I see at two o'clock in afternoon with my mother seems to cast a strange spell that means we both come out sobbing.
Because I feel no anger toward my mother. Only loss, and loss is a feeling you can’t fight your way out of as easily.
My mother and I are very close; I guess you would call us 'best friends.'
My mother was a Mohawk, born and raised on a reservation, and when I was a kid, she would take me there to visit her relatives.
My mom's my best friend.
As a child I thought it was very boring when I had to sit with [my mother] on the city streets, but the time sank deep and surfaced later.
Me and my mom are extremely, extremely close.
The thought that my mother would suddenly be a foreigner would upset me very much.
I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom, for whatever reason, the best thing to do is be open with each other, talk it over, try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.
From the time she was born, until she was fifteen, I didn't know where I left off and she began. We were joined at the hip or the heart or the brain.
I don't know what my mom feels toward me or where the viciousness is coming from, but I just know that when I have kids, I will protect them. I would do anything for my kids and for my family. I know that.
My mum is my best friend.
I spent pretty much every minute of my life with my mom.
My mother and I naturally have a tremendous bond. There's, like, a bond that you just can't break with us.
My first vivid memory is...when first I looked into her face and she looked into mine. That I do remember, and that exchanging looks I have carried with me all of my life. We recognized each other. I was her child and she was my mother.
I spend so much time with my parents. My mom and I were joined at the hip for five years. There was not one moment when I wasn't with her.
I am most attached to my mother, who always travels with me when I am on an outdoor location or abroad. She is my friend, who I share everything with.
My mom used to tell me stories at night, read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What, was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.
I used to get into bed with my mother every morning, almost until she died, and talk about everything. She was my closest confidante always. I had no secrets from her.
I've been dying to do something with Ms. Patti LaBelle because she is so iconic. I grew up listening to her with my mom in the house. She is such a big inspiration to me.
Good southern boys always have this connection with their mom.
How often do I call my mom? You can never call your mum enough, and I should call my mum more often. But I speak to my mum very regularly and have a close relationship with my parents.
Basically, whenever I watch my mother on screen, I never judge her as a performer; I always see her as my mother and I become emotional.
Chanel No. 5 is my perfume when I'm feeling like a lady. It's old-school and warm - and it reminds me of my mom.
