— Petra Kvitova
My mom is a very warm, typical sort of Jewish-mother type. And my dad has a somewhat, um, different personality.
— Peter Orszag
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.
— Peter Guber
My brother Jim and I spent many wonderful summers working on dairy farms in Wisconsin owned by Mom's cousins, and as members of our local Boy Scout troop.
— Peter Agre
My mom is always asking why can't I make something nice? Because I'll make paintings, say, and they're just really bloody and angsty. So I wrote 'Dark Parts' because I wanted to write something nice for her.
— Perfume Genius

— Pearl S. Buck
My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'
— Paula Poundstone
Right now, it hasn't affected my music other than the fact that I don't have time to write any of it. That's no different from when I first started and I lived at home. I would play the guitar in the afternoon and then my mom or my dad would come home and I'd have to quit.
— Paul Westerberg
My mom's hot. I mean she's old, but my mom's out of control.
— Paul Walker
A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare, for my Mom's generation, for my generation, and for my kids and yours.

— Paul Rust
Motherhood is at its best when the tender chords of sympathy have been touched.
— Paul P. Harris
In 'Batman Beyond,' Terry McGinnis has the responsibility of protecting Gotham City, as well as maintaining a home and social life. He's also got a single mom and a pesky younger brother, which young kids will relate to.
— Paul Dini
I am a mom as well as a senator!

My mom was a theater teacher and helped me out a lot as a kid when I was starting out.

My mom had been a script supervisor in Hungary, but you can't just jump into that in Canada without knowing any English. She worked retail jobs and raised my sister and me while learning English.
— Petra Collins
I fell in love with stories watching a British television puppet show called 'Thunderbirds' when it first came out on TV, about 1965, so I would have been 4 or 5 years old. I went out into the garden at my mom and dad's house, and I used to play with my little dinky toys, little cars and trucks and things.
— Peter Jackson
Most young people haven't used their storytelling skills since they were 8 or 9 or 10 and wanted to persuade Mom and Dad to take them to the ball game.
I think my mom recognized that I liked people to be happy. I like people to get along. And I like to be a peacemaker. And I liked the church. So she was like, 'You should be a youth pastor.'
— Pete Holmes
My mom, if you asked her if she was interested in whether or not people gambled, would say no.
— Penn Jillette

— Pauly Shore
I grew up with an extremely funny dad, and my mom is super funny.
— Paula Pell
I'm very close with my mom.
— Paul Wesley
My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.
And to this day, my Mom is my role model.
I used to ask my mom to try and shave my head on the sides to give me a receding hairline because Adam Ant had one.
— Paul Rudd
Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.

My first paying job might have been doing a play, actually. My mom paid me to dress up as a flounder at my sister's 'Little Mermaid' - themed birthday party when I was little.
— Paul Dano
I grew up in a bit of a feminist fantasy with a single mom. I was totally shielded, in a way, from an idea that I couldn't do something.
— Patty Jenkins
My mom loved rock n' roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around. He liked classical music and Duke Ellington.
If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.
— Patsy Cline
My mom came from such humble beginnings and especially my dad as well. He didn't go to university.
— Petra Stunt
My mom and dad? Oh, they were a fiery pair. They stayed together for the kids and also because they were hopelessly in love with each other, but they were totally incompatible.
— Peter Scolari
There are very few topics where I can imagine that you might not find humor. And I was stunned at how much weird and dark humor there was when my mom died.
— Peter Hedges
I think my mom drove by a nuclear power plant when she was pregnant. But I wouldn't be in 'The Station Agent' if she hadn't.
— Peter Dinklage
My mom wanted me to be a youth pastor, and when I became a comedian, she said it was close enough.
I'm not bothered by the idea of getting old, or I guess you could say by having arrived at old. I was 10 when my mom turned 55. For 1955, she was a very old mom.
My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
Yes, I wear a number of hats. But my most important title is mom and wife.
— Paula Broadwell
I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'
My mom's now enjoying Medicare. She's already retired. She earned it. But for those of us, you know, the X-Generation on down, it won't be there for us on its current path.
My mom did this really cool thing: when 'Pulp Fiction' came out on video, she made, like, a 'mommy edit.' She took two VCRs and dubbed 'Pulp Fiction' from one tape to the next and edited out all the parts she thought were unsuitable for a kid. It was basically, like, the opening and ending credits.
My strength comes from my mom. Just seeing what she had to go through to raise us, she wouldn't make excuses; she wouldn't put her head down. So I guess I looked at adversity right in the eye and took it on.
— Paul Pierce
Ever since I was a little kid, I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school, but I kept wearing it.
— Paul Feig
