My mom's half-Irish, and my dad's half-Irish. We don't know much about my mom's side, but my dad's mom came from Belfast and married my grandfather, who was from Wales.
— Coco Rocha
My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.
— Coco Lee
My son became my manager, and he said to me, 'Mom, if you could do anything you wanted to do, what would it be?' And out of my mouth immediately came, 'Dancing With the Stars.'
— Cloris Leachman
Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The mother.
— Claudette Colbert
When I was a single, working mom with a newborn, I learned just how vital it is to have comprehensive, affordable health care.
— Claire McCaskill
Being a mom, I can't imagine my child not having a meal. That's hard to digest.
— Ciara
Being a mom has changed me forever.
My mom and I don't have a lot of photos of my early years.
My mom was essentially a single mother raising three boys. If anyone could have had any reason to give up, it was her. But she didn't, and neither did we.
— Chuck Norris
My earliest memories of my mom were of her multi-tasking - preparing dinner while checking on homework and housework; clearing the dinner plates while setting out bowls for breakfast; making sure we ate our breakfast while lining up bread, lunch meats, apples, and snacks assembly-line style so we could make our lunches.
— Christine Pelosi
My curiosity and love for food started at an early age. My mother was a working mom, so I learned to whip up sweet and savory food using everyday pantry and grocery store ingredients that required little supervision.
— Christina Tosi
My mom and I always had a great bond. It was always a natural friendship bond since early on. My mom was 18 when she had me.
— Christina Milian
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It's been quite an evolution.
At the end of the day, I'm Violet's mom, and I want the best for her.
My mom was a cheerleader and had me as a teenager. I remember her giving me some pom-poms and teaching me how to do some splits when I was 3 or 4.
I guess my mom raised me right. She was very celebratory of her body. I never heard her once say, 'I feel fat.'
— Christina Hendricks
My earliest memories were when my mom would put me in the plays that she was in because she couldn't afford a babysitter... she was part of this theater group.
— Christina Applegate
I always think that some of those moms who are rocking cool fashion looks while walking their little babies in a stroller is just the bomb. You don't have to, all of a sudden, have to transition into 'mom' outfits from the '90s just because you became a mom.
A stay-at-home mom is a working mom. Being a stay-at-home mom is a job.
— Cobie Smulders
A lot of times when people become successful, people don't really understand what they had to do or the sacrifices they made to do that, or they assume that they had money. This is coming from, like, a kid who was broke and lived with roaches and a single mom in Dorchester.
— Clinton Sparks
My mom set up relief programs in third world countries. We would do things like go to Bogota with her instead of summer camp.
— Clark Johnson
I think I would make a lousy stay-at-home mom. It just wouldn't suit me.
— Claire Danes
Juggling being a mom and an entertainer is a challenge I face every day.
My mom is one of those women... she don't take no mess. She is very vocal about what she wants and what she doesn't want.
Moms can be fresh, fly and young, and that's the kind of mom I want to be.
I can say without a doubt that being a mom is the ultimate test of my multi-tasking skills. I spend my day meeting startup after startup, helping our portfolio companies, bringing in speakers, and soon gearing up for Demo Day for our accelerator program.
— Christine Tsai
My parents had five children in six years and one week, meaning that my mom was pregnant for most of the '60s and driving carpools for most of the '70s. When we were young, she dressed us alike so she could pick us out in crowds: identical skirts for the four girls with the color-coordinated pants for my brother.
My mom knows when something is real and something is not.
— Christina Ricci
When I go home, I still have to clean my room; I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes.
I'm happy that I took time off to become a mom and raise my daughter properly and build a bond between the two of us.
Once upon a time, the homemaker was just Mom, but now we've evolved and come to a place where we're celebrating grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads - all the people that keep it safe and clean for our kids - and the overall health for ourselves so we can continue to function and do the variety of things we all do.
Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.
I know the fans are very personable with my mom and things like that. They make little collages and pictures. They make edits of me and my mom together.
— Christina Grimmie
I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.
I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me, and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.
Everybody's mom plays a huge role in their development and support. Mom was awesome. There is no one better. I had a good family. I had six brothers and six sisters, and they were all very supportive.
— Clyde Drexler
My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.
— Clay Aiken
I never need to go far if I need a reminder of how important Medicare and Social Security are to Missouri's seniors. My mom, Betty Anne, is one of millions for whom these services provide a reliable safety net. Across the country, these protections are an integral part of sustaining millions of seniors' health and dignity.
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.
— Cindy Crawford
My dad's my nanny, so he spends a lot of time with me in L.A. when my mom's in Atlanta.
Being a mom, I am even more inspired to really help make a difference. I can't imagine what it would be like if my child didn't have a meal to eat.
I work, and I'm a full-time mom, and it's hard for me to sit down and relax because it's like, 'Crap, there's something I'm forgetting.'
— Chyler Leigh
While your intentions may be good, this is something every expectant working mom fears - being phased out. I'll put myself out there and admit this has been/is a fear of mine. Let her be the one to decide whether something's too much for her to handle or not.
I'm a nice, happily married wife and mom and I live in Connecticut.
— Christine Baranski
Violet speaks Spanish and understands it. She loves Cuban food! My mom is very good at teaching her about our culture, whether it be the food or Spanish or explaining to her that she's Cuban.
I've always felt a certain guilt to have them labeled as 'Christina's sisters' or, 'That's Christina's mom' but them looking for the respect to be named Elizabeth and Danielle and Carmen.
I like a family guy. He must be fun, must like to go out, and has to respect his mom... my family is very important, so it should be likewise for him.
I've been a fan of 'Rocky Horror'... my mom let me see it at a really early age.
My mom studied biology and my dad studied chemistry and some physics and he is a physician, but he had a very strong interest in astronomy and astrophysics and exploration in general.
— Christina Koch
Comfortably middle-class, I had shopped for years at the likes of Saks outlet Off Fifth, Banana Republic, and Zara. My mom raised me to believe clothes should be comfortable and practical, not frivolous.
— Christina Binkley
