My mum's a single mum, I'm a single mum, and you do find yourself rushing around just to make sure everything's all right.
Fear of failure, it's the greatest motivational tool. It drives me and drives me and drives me.
My mum and dad did everything for me. They supported me, gave me a lot of advice. That support is everything. It gives you the confidence you need.
Family is paramount, I am the baby of the family, I get looked after, everyone spoils me and I couldn't live without them. They are my life, and they keep me grounded. If I get out of line, my mum will tell me off.
My dad's an English teacher and my mum's a midwife. Then my mum's side of the family are all crazy creative.
My dad is a minister and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English. My mum and dad moved to London when they had my eldest sister. They started a life in London as immigrants, and they built up from there. They're no actors in my family, but there are definitely animated black people in my family.
My mum, Kathy, works as a GP and my dad, Mark, was a high school maths teacher. He now manages mum's practice and is also my cricket coach. We are a close-knit family.
What drives me? In every mission I'm on, the thing that drives me most is the desire to find my limits-and extend them.
My mum's always on at me to have children and blames 'that stupid stage thing you do' for me not already having a family.
The American family is not simply changing; it is getting weaker. . . . Family decline drives some of our most urgent social problems. . . . The heart of the family problem lies in the steady breakup of the two-parent home.
I just enjoy the sound as I hear it in everything around me. The high and low frequencies of sound bewitch me. Whether I am in a shop, in the bathroom or listening to noise that my fans make... everything is music to my ears and drives me. I just put all these things in rhythm when I'm playing.
It starts with my family. That drives me every day, just seeing them smiling.
The demons you have are what motivate you to make your art. This is what drives the detective, this is what drives the painter, this is what drives the writer: a conflicting urge to forget pain and at the same time remember it and fight for some kind of justice. I know these powerful things are inside of me and everyone in some way or another.
My Mum was the main reason why I became a chef. She influenced all of my family to feel free in the kitchen - it was the centre of our home and I have wonderful memories of helping Mum cook and experiencing the love and patience that went into the food.
I was 13 when I first saw my mum's films. There were these boys who said to me, 'Your mum makes sexy films,' and I said, 'She doesn't.' Then I watched them and my mum makes sexy films! I'm a huge fan of my mum.
We are a religious family. My mum still goes to church every Sunday. There was a time when I was younger when I started getting games on a Sunday, so it came down to a choice between going to church and playing football. I think my mum knew what I really loved, and she did not stop me from going to football.
