My mom is very close to me, and it has been really cool having a mom that's closer to my age because she can go out with me and stuff.
Dad and Mom were frustrated artists - Dad wanted to study engineering or architecture and Mom wanted to be an actress - but the world was a different place when they were young so Dad became a public works foreman and Mom became a stay-at-home mom. When I said I wanted to be a writer, they were thrilled. They did everything in their power to support me.
With my mom and dad around, I became a child yet again.
I know from having had a child, and from having been a child myself, that children will copy you.
The emancipation of man is the emancipation of labor and the emancipation
of labor is the freeing of that basic majority of workers who are yellow, brown and
black.
As a mom, I just can't imagine having a child who would feel discriminated against for any reason, and I would want my child in a safe environment.
I had a great life at Boeing. I'd been there for 37 years and contributed to all the Boeing airplanes as a designer: the 707, 727, 37, 47, 57, 67 and 'triple 7' and the 87.
I was all of these women. I've been a young mom; I've been a divorcée; I've been a single mom. I've been the working mom versus the nonworking mom.
Do you know they've already seen a drop of 37% in donations [for Clinton Global Initiative]? Now, if it's a charity, why a 37% drop? There's a 37% drop because the donors figured out the Clintons can't do anything for 'em anymore. That's not pretty.
As soon as I became a mom, my birthday stopped having any meaning whatsoever.
I just hope I will be as good a mom to my child and, hopefully, children as my mom was to me.
I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child, and hopefully children, as my mom was to me.
Freedom cannot be achieved unless women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression... Our endeavors must be about the liberation of the woman, the emancipation of the man and the liberty of the child.
Being a mom has affected me in the greatest way possible - and in a necessary way. Having my son has helped me to be grounded, and I feel like with a child you have to really think about things all the way through.
My mom was a single mom and I'm an only child, so growing up it was really just me and her against the world.
Being a mom, I can't imagine my child not having a meal. That's hard to digest.
