I never wanted to be a mother, and when I got the show I was really upset. I was like "I'm not sexy anymore!" The more you become a mom, you're not sexy, which of course is crap. But that's the way actors look at it. Of course, that's not true now. But everybody expects you to look differently and act differently.

Any time you get to play or dress differently or look differently, as an actress, that's incredibly exciting.

Krysten Ritter

With the single parent model, you experience betrayal differently. You experience lying from your kids differently.

Rosemarie DeWitt

In War more than anywhere else in the world things happen differently to what we had expected, and look differently when near, to what they did at a distance.

Carl von Clausewitz

I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I'm doing my job. So I'll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we're kind of accustomed to.

Bobby Wagner

Love makes you see a place differently, just as you hold differently an object that belongs to someone you love. If you know one landscape well, you will look at all other landscapes differently. And if you learn to love one place, sometimes you can also learn to love another.

And in that time, I lost my dad and had kids of my own. It was like, OK, I get it now. I know what fatherhood is all about. And you look at your parents differently.

My parents were 30 years older than I was, and my parents had my brother and I ten years apart. My parents grew up in segregation, and they both lived in all-black neighborhoods and grew up with large black families. I didn't have any of that, and I didn't understand feeling so differently and being treated so differently.

Courtney A. Kemp

I feel like I grew up differently, when you're a child actor you grow up differently, but it's not that different than growing up as, like, a child basketball player who goes to the NBA. There are certain kids who become professionals at a very young age. There's a lot of sacrifice that goes into that.

Dante Basco

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

Robert Smith

The abduction of a child is a tragedy. No one can fully understand or appreciate what a parent goes through at such a time, unless they have faced a similar tragedy. Every parent responds differently. Each parent copes with this nightmare in the best way he or she knows how.

John Walsh

Having children made us look differently at all these things that we take for granted, like taking your child to get a vaccine against measles or polio.

Melinda Gates

Conscious parenting is a new paradign shift in the way we look at our roles as parents. It's turning the spot light away from fixing the child and managing the child, obsession with all things that have to do with the child and the child centric approach and really focusing on the evolution of the parent. It about fully understanding that unless the parent has raised themselves to a certain level of emotional integration and maturity, they will really not be able to do true service to the child's spirit.

There are highlights when you become irreplaceable as a model, like when you become a muse to designers. They look at you differently; you're not a coat hanger for hire.
