— David Berman
My mom obviously had a problem.
— Dave Pelzer
I got really bad grades, so I'd hide my report card from my dad. My mom was in on it, too, because she knew he'd be furious. I probably would've gone to boot camp. Seriously.

When we lived in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, my sister and I did a local play. My whole family got involved. My mom did the makeup. My sister and I were being homeschooled, and my parents wanted us to be socialized. We had a lot of fun with the other kids hanging out backstage.
— Danielle Panabaker
I never put my hands on my mom, and my mom never put her hands on me.
— Danielle Bregoli
My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director.
When I was a child, she'd have me wash the lettuce ten times or open walnuts by hand to make a cake. I was like, 'Mom, this is ridiculous.' But now? I run my kitchen the same way.
— Daniel Humm

Blessed with Mom and Dad's remarkable genes, raised on big words and big, iconoclastic attitudes, Larry and I, before entering kindergarten, knew who we were, what we wanted, and how we would get there.

I know Spanish pretty well. I'm half-Puerto Rican - my mom is from Puerto Rico - so I have a lot of family there, and my mom's first language is Spanish. But growing up in the States, and with my dad being from the States, I'm kind of just like this white kid.
My mom told me to do whatever I wanted to do and don't get too anxious about it.
— David Giuntoli

My dad left when I was 3 1/2, and he left my mom and I.
All my mom's side speaks Spanish. I speak to my grandparents in Spanish. Slowly. And they're patient with me! But I do speak with them in Spanish and carry on conversations with them.
— David Archuleta
I think my first big purchase was actually for my mom. She had one of those '90s TVs in her living room that's like a 10x10 brick, so I purchased her a flatscreen for her living room.
— Dave Franco
First, I am definitely going to give some money to my mission program at church, and then I have to get my mom a dishwasher.

— DanTDM

— Daniela Ruah
My dad believes in God, I think. I'm not sure if my mom does. I don't.

— Daniel Caesar
My nickname for my mom was 'The Compass.'
— Dane Cook
I always carry snacks in my bag. It's a good habit to have now that I am a mom.

— Dan Schulman
