Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
— Elle Macpherson
When I do a movie, that's just a couple months out of my year and out of my life. All the other months I'm just at home, running around doing errands with my mom and going to sleepovers. I feel like I have that side of my life, and then I also do the films - which is just sort of a plus.
— Elle Fanning
I was a huge Lauryn Hill fan; that was all my mom would listen to in the car.

After I graduated high school and came out to do 'Buffy,' I was enrolled at my mom's university, and I was going to go get a real job. I never thought of acting and never really wanted to be an actor.
— Eliza Dushku
My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.
I have lots of records, quite a collection, actually, that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits,' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.
— Elisha Cuthbert
Ever since I was 15, when I did my first movie by myself, where my mom wasn't there and I had a guardian, I got to know the crew, and I got to be part of a group and a family. I love that part of it, the friendships that you make.
— Elisabeth Moss
The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn't have that rule when Jesus was born.
— Elayne Boosler
I'm almost a full-time mom.
— Ekaterina Gordeeva
This sounds crazy, but I was born in the fashion industry. So, I probably wore heels by the age of two. When I was two, I would steal my mom's heels.
— Eiza Gonzalez
My mom, she cooks the best pound cakes in the world.
— Edwin Jackson
My mom is from Cuba, my dad is from Spain, and I grew up in Miami. So there's maybe a little more flair in me than typical Silicon Valley types.
— Eddy Cue
No poem in the world could do my mom justice. Despite circumstance and adversity, she had an unwavering love for her kids and a faith-based, boundless capacity for forgiveness.
— Ed Schultz

— E. W. Howe
My first name is a boy's name. It's Tanner. I've always gone by my middle name but, yeah, my first name is Tanner. And King is my mom's last name. I took my mom's last name since I was 18.
— Elle King
My mom comes from a really out-there upbringing, so for her, the way she raised me is pretty disciplined. I was home-schooled but more really unschooled, really.
— Ellar Coltrane
Like a lot of you, I grew up in a family on the ragged edges of the middle class. My daddy sold carpeting and ended up as a maintenance man. After he had a heart attack, my mom worked the phones at Sears so we could hang on to our house.
— Elizabeth Warren
OK, so I'm a working mom that also gets to kiss George Clooney. That's a little bit of a perk of the job.
— Elizabeth Marvel
The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.
— Elizabeth Cady Stanton
My mom usually does my self-tapes, and we've built a kind of shorthand with one another... Also, just having fun with it and not feeling restricted in your space and giving yourself enough space filming the shot to move around, things like that.
My mom is like this hard-core, liberal feminist. She's a professor in Boston, and she's been teaching women's studies for 30 years and international politics.
We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.
My kids have grown up knowing that their mom made a big investment in making sure there was art and language instruction in school and books in the library. Hopefully, they've internalized that.
— Elise Broach
My mom and dad, although they may not have had a lot of formal education, they were two of the most brilliant people that I know.
— Elijah Cummings
My mom has never cared if I did sports or not. Obviously, she's proud of me, and she loves the fact that I'm an Olympian and she's got these trinkets to hang around with the medals and whatnot. But if I wanted to do whatever, if I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or whatever, she was going to support me regardless.
— Elana Meyers
I remember being, like, 4 and 5 and playing in my mom's closet. But also asking questions like 'Who's this?' and 'What's that?,' and my mom explaining to me, 'This is a Chanel and this is a Versace.'
— EJ Johnson
My mom was very much alpha. I admired her because she was the working mom on the go. She's such a boss. She's an OG, as they say.
'Peter Pan' is my favorite. I love the idea that all the Lost Boys were orphans, and that they wanted Wendy to be their mom.
— Edward Kitsis
I don't want to get burned when I'm cooking. To avoid getting hit when pan-frying, I stand far away and use chopsticks that are almost two feet long. I learned it from my mom, who does the same thing.
— Eddie Huang
My mother worked in factories, worked as a domestic, worked in a restaurant, always had a second job.
— Ed Bradley
I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.
— E. M. Forster
My mom says I was born screaming.
My mom used to play a lot of music around the house, and I think that's where I get my inspiration from.
It's funny to be playing a mom. I mean, I'm not a mom in real life. I don't even have a dog.
— Elizabeth Reaser
I think being a mom changed me, and now it's not just about what I want to do and what's sort of interesting, but what I absolutely have to do.
My mom used to keep all her Christmas cards in a basket bedecked with red ribbon, and I loved to look at them all and read all the letters.
— Elizabeth Berg
My mom grew up in Idaho, went to Brigham Young University: they're very Molly Mormon. And my father is, like, first generation Albanian, and his parents lived in Southey and grew up in downtown Boston. My parents are complete opposites.
I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.
A big reason I ultimately decided to run was because of my family’s experience when my mom was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer and did not have health insurance at the time.
— Elissa Slotkin
My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten, so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them.
— Elisabeth Shue
Well, Mom and Dad are both actors, and I've spent a lot of time watching my mom on stage and a lot of time on set with my dad, so it was very much a part of my growing up.
— Eleanor Tomlinson
My mom used to call me 'Oprah' because I was always in a corner crying with somebody. I've always been attracted to storytelling around women's lives.
— Elaine Welteroth
When my father passed away, my mom didn't really know what to do and how to deal with it for me, so she put me in extracurricular classes, one of them being theater.
When my father passed away, I learned to be unattached to physical things. At a very young age, I was able to roam the world and be emotionally connected but physically disconnected. I'll get homesick in that I miss my mom. My grounding rock is her and my family.
Becoming a mom made me more contentious about expressing my true taste.
— Edie Brickell
My mom speaks English - she moved to England in the '70s, so she's fluent in English. We use to speak in Spanish when I was a kid all the time, me and my mom. But when I went to boarding school, I kind of lost it a little bit.
— Ed Weeks
When I was a kid and got in trouble, I'd always say, Mom, I'm in trouble. Well, Mom, I'm in trouble.
— Earl Campbell
