My dad turned me onto Led Zeppelin, the Stones, and the Who, but Madonna and pop music came from my mom.

It's funny: when I was a kid, my mom would reorganize the record collection all the time. She'd have classical, she'd have Celtic, she'd have rock and roll, and then she'd have female singers. And I don't like it that female singers are their own genre.
As far as children out there that hate their moms and dads, just get over it, because you get one dad and one mom. You know, suck it up. Learn something.
— Goldust

— Ginni Rometty

— Gillian Flynn
Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.

— Gladys Knight
I think 'Actions speak louder than words' is one thing, I think, I always took from my mom. And to this day, I think about that in everything I do.
My mom used to tell me: 'It's not what you weigh; it's what you look like.'
— Gina Carano
My mom wouldn't know Tom Cruise if he punched her in the face.
Very quickly, I discovered I did not have what it takes to be a good crime reporter: I was too unassertive and a little bit wimpy. It was very clear that was not what I was going to do, but I loved journalism, and I'm the daughter of a film professor, and my mom taught reading.
My mom has been there for me in moments where I definitely needed her the most, and she has this inherent way of knowing exactly what to say and exactly how to talk to me, whatever the situation.

— Greta Gerwig

I was about eight when I started tap dancing - against my own will. My mom wanted me to do it. She thought I would love it, and I didn't believe her. I turned out to be obsessed with it.
— Grant Gustin
While I circled around and around in my brown rental skates, I studied a group of skaters spinning in the center. I was fascinated! When my mom picked me up, I began a campaign for skating lessons.

I wanted to be a 'jungle mom', where you're giving birth and getting up and doing things straightaway.
— Grace Jones
My hair story has been unique because my mom's a German Jew, so her hair is way different than my hair. She was always learning on my hair growing up, but I would sit there for hours, and she did learn how to braid hair. Early on, it was a lot of tears while my mom was braiding my hair.
— Goapele
My mom told me, 'Make sure you do everything you want to do before you have kids.' So that's what I was doing. But biologically, the body is just like, 'Well, you should have done it.'
My mom was definitely very strict with me.

What I will not do is continue to perpetuate stereotypes. I'm the daughter of a maid; why do I have to also play a maid? My mom was a maid so I didn't have to be a maid.
— Gina Rodriguez
There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn't very rebellious.
My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school.
