If ever I'm in trouble I ring my mum. She knows me better than anyone and has great life experience.

My mum always liked poetry, and she had pictures on the wall, so there was this visual stuff around.

My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

I grew up in Queensland, and my dad was a tradesman and my mum an insurance agent, both self-employed.

I'm a new mum who spends her days making baby food and cooking for her man. And I couldn't be happier.

I don't keep any copies of my books in the house - they go to my mum's flat. I don't like them around.

When I went to college, my mum was really sad, so she preserved my bedroom, like a weird time capsule.

My mum's from Yorkshire and my parents aren't snotty or posh - they're very hard workers, both of them.

But my mum told me it's not good to be jealous, just work hard and keep your head down. Wait your turn.

No, no, no, no,no,' he gasped. 'You can't bring up your mum and dad while your hand is down there, Finke

My mum made a conscious decision not to teach me any Indian languages so I wouldn't talk with an accent.

My dad's Jewish and my mum is Christian, so I grew up with no religion. Just whatever religion I wanted.

Most of my mannerisms come from my Mum, who is quite a funny, witty, chatty person. My Dad was very shy.

My mum says that I was born 45, and I do remember at six thinking that I should be earning my own living.

My mum calls my temper 'Devilman.' They say you calm down with age, but I don't know. It never goes away.

Our food style is no fuss - no jus or froth - hearty food like your mum might cook for you, and seasonal.

My mum was massively important to everything I've done, and now her memory is a motivational tool for me.

I never promise anything. I don't promise anything to my mum. I don't promise anything to the supporters.

I always knew mum loved me - tough, look-after-yourself love, as if she knew she wouldn't always be there.

My mum will not speak above a low whisper in public because she doesn't want to draw attention to herself.

I won't be made to feel guilty about being a working mum; it's my choice, and I know I'm doing a good job.

I have really thick bushy eyebrows that I used to pluck into a thin line which used to really annoy my Mum!

Attraction doesn't stop when a child is born. It's the opposite. Being a mum and dad makes you even sexier.

My mum is from Ghana, and she used to play highlife music in the house, and my dad used to listen to music.

If I hadn't gone to dancing school, I would have married and had children like my mum and had a normal life.

My dad's an English teacher and my mum's a midwife. Then my mum's side of the family are all crazy creative.

It was a fairly happy childhood. My father was working away, and my mum brought up five kids all on her own.

I get to have Sunday lunch at my mum's, pick my nephew up from school now and then: it's a very normal life.

My mum Margaret was a single parent, but though life was a bit of a struggle she gave me every encouragement.

When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.

I dyed my hair blonde when I was 13 because I wanted to be like my mum and my gran, who both have blonde hair.

We lived in a council flat, and I spent most of my time on estates. My mum was very strict. I used to hate it.

I have to thank my mum for kicking me out at 16 and making me stand on my own two feet - that's how I got here.

'What's a couple?' I asked my mum. She said, 'Two or three'. Which probably explains why her marriage collapsed

I had a somewhat frenetic childhood because my mum and dad split up when I was five, and then my mum remarried.

When I first started, I'd play to a few people. My mum would invite everyone she knew and the venue was filled.

My mum said to me once years ago, which really spurred me on, 'You're the funniest person I know'. I loved that.

I remembered moving from Sacramento to Los Angeles with my mum when I was seven and my sister was three or four.

My dad's an ex-policeman, and my mum is a sales representative, and they haven't got the acting bug. Bless them.

My mum taught me to knit when I was a child, and I turn to it, for some weird reason, when I'm feeling depressed.

My mum is great for keeping hold of old classics - pieces of clothing that never age and never go out of fashion.

And I used to buy 'Fangoria,' the horror magazine, which made my mum wonder if I was going to be a serial killer.

I've always been a risk taker. When I told my mum I was quitting my job to be a bobsledder, she wasn't surprised.

It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.

I would love to bring my mum to see me in shows and travel Europe with me because she has done so, so much for me.

My dad's Macedonian, mum Greek... so for as long as I can remember, my uncles have talked about our warrior blood.

My mum put herself in £50,000 of debt to service my sporting career. She did everything for me to pursue my dream.

My kids don't slow down, but they like to hang just with us, with mum and dad. They play with us and we play, too.

When I was young, I used to tell my mum that she had to get me on the TV, but then modelling just sort of happened.

Mum and Dad met campaigning on the Spanish civil war. Both were active peace campaigners. They died in 1986 and '87.
