My father was a truck driver, made $50 a week. And the reason why I know that so vividly is my Mom used to just constantly give him a hard time for that.
— Mathew Knowles
There is no one more 'rock-n-roll' than my mom.
— Maryse Mizanin
I told my agents that I didn't want to go on the audition. But as that was happening I called my mom, who has been watching the show from the beginning, and my mom said, 'It's the coolest show. You have to go.'
— Mary Lynn Rajskub
When I was small, I thought I was just cooler than my mom because of how foreign she is. She's really foreign. You'd think it would kill her to get store-bought snacks, she's that foreign.
— Mary H.K. Choi
My mom told me to cover up my arms ever since I was little because I was muscular. She wanted me to be feminine, which did not come easy to me. My body was what it was, and I worked it to be a better tennis player.
— Martina Navratilova
Before I was a mom I used to think that parents who worried about their kids watching MTV were just clueless. Now that I'm a mom, I see what the fuss was all about!
— Martha Quinn
I don't have a creepy uncle, but I certainly have many, many uncles. My mom has twelve brothers and sisters, and my dad has two sisters and three brothers. Their maturity level is still hovering around fifteen when they all get together, but they're not necessarily creepy.
— Martha MacIsaac
An agent saw one of the plays I did at ACT, but my mom was like, No, she's too young. I became so annoying that a year and a half later she just couldn't stand hearing me any more!
— Marla Sokoloff
Some of the best times I've spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings, and more recently, with my own kids. That is why I'm concerned to see today's kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature.
— Mark Udall
My mom was a hairstylist, but she quit doing that to raise the kids - there were four of us. There was no money.
— Mark Ruffalo
My mom was an orphan, and there was never anybody to tell her what she could or couldn't do. At the core, she's probably an artist - an artist and a feminist.
— Mark Bradford
I had a pretty rough childhood. I was raised for a few years by my single mom, until she married my stepdad a little later.
— Marisol Nichols
My view of the world changed completely when I became a mom. I'm suddenly like, 'Do pop songs always say things like this? How could they put that on the radio?'
When I turned about 14, I developed a friendship with this guy whose mom was the secretary to Ernest Angley, the faith healer, who's very popular in the Midwest. He had a television show, and he was sort of like Liberace mixed with Jerry Falwell - very glitzy, very high-tech.
— Marilyn Manson
My mom is very structured. She gets up, she does her prayers, and she eats her oatmeal with blueberries and Greek yogurt, and she has her prayer list, and she doesn't worry too much about things.
— Maria Bamford
Growing up in North Carolina, my mom was always just sort of my mom to me. I never really recognized her as a famous actress. I'm always thrilled when she's cleaning out her closet. Last time, I got a pair of boots that she bought in Paris 20 years ago. I have completely worn them out.
— Margaret Qualley
My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier, a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness, they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them.
— Marco Rubio
It was super stressful at first because it is my first child. The first minute I saw her and the first minute I heard her cry is really when things kicked in. You just become a mom and you roll with it.
The mom guilt is really something that not many moms talk about. You leave your house for an hour and you feel guilty about it. That's something I wasn't aware of before I was pregnant.
My mom, grandma, great-grandma - we're all named Mary, and we all play piano and sing.
— Mary Lambert
My mom was born before women had the vote in general elections in England.
— Mary Beard
I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.
— Martina Hingis
It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.
— Martha Plimpton
When I was a toddler, we lived in Maryland and my mom would routinely pile us in the car to go see events unfolding in Washington, D.C. such as the return of Apollo astronauts, parading through the streets of D.C. on open back convertibles while we all waved pennants.
— Martha MacCallum
As far as I'm concerned, there's no job more important on the planet than being a mom.
— Mark Wahlberg
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
— Mark Twain
My mom was a hairdresser. My aunt was a hairdresser. My brother was a hairdresser. My sisters are hairdressers.
My dad is Chinese, and my mom is a white American, and they married only ten years after the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal to ban mixed marriages. Imagine that. Marriages between people of different races - now common and accepted - were illegal in many states up until the late Sixties.
— Marjorie Liu
As soon as I became a mom, my birthday stopped having any meaning whatsoever.
I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more.
— Mariska Hargitay
My aunt made stuff; my mom was creative, so I was surrounded by that. When I moved to England, it was '75, and everything was happening. My whole teenage life is England, glam rock and David Bowie and Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop, all that stuff.
— Maria Cornejo
When I eat, I have to chop up everything on the plate and stir it all together. It devastates my mom. Everyone at the table is like, 'That looks like cat vomit.' And I stir my Coke with a spoon until it's flat.
— Margot Robbie
I'm not a mom, but I think the word 'mother' is about wisdom.
— Margaret Cho
My parents were working class folks. My dad was a bartender for most of his life, my mom was a maid and a cashier and a stock clerk at WalMart. We were not people of financial means in terms of significant financial means. I always told them, 'I didn't always have what I wanted. I always had what I needed.' My parents always provided that.
It's so weird to say, 'What am I going to do during Mother's Day?' because usually I'm celebrating my mom or sister who has kids. It's just weird to say I am a mom.
I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from.
— Mary Steenburgen
When I was younger, on weekends, my mom would make us pancakes with our initials on them and then a tiny cup of coffee. I remember at 10 sneaking my own coffee and pouring a ton of sugar in and going up to the playroom and drinking it.
— Mary-Kate Olsen
I lost my parents very early in my life. My mom died three weeks after I graduated from high school, and my dad died two years after I got married.
— Mary Badham
My mom sent me money for a car, but the cops impounded it because I had no insurance.
— Martin Henderson
My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.
One of my mom's favorite movies growing up was 'Big' with Tom Hanks. I thought, 'Oh, OK, what if we do something like that but not like that. Something more modern, with a different perspective, and maybe with an all-black cast.'
— Marsai Martin
I have a wife who's a great mom.
— Mark V. Hurd
I never met my Uncle Jack. My mom was six months pregnant with me when he died. But I knew his wife and two kids very well.
— Mark Shriver
My mom was a free spirit, and she brought me up to be a free spirit.
I think like my dad, but I have a huge kinship with my mom.
— Marissa Mayer
Nothing really prepared me for the amount of work, or the amount of rewards, that came with being a new mom.
I want to be a fun mom. Not a gasping for air mom.
My mom doesn't post on Facebook, but she'll tell anyone within about the first five minutes of meeting them about my sister and I, in whatever way she can.
We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it.
— Margot Kidder
Biggest influence is my parents. It's funny but my mom was the first one that allowed me to play tackle football. My dad was not ready to let me play yet. She definitely was the one who allowed me to do it. Obviously my dad taught me to throw and be a quarterback.
— Marcus Mariota
