I'm an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other.

My mom was a single mom and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

Every single thing I learned about marketing and building my business I learned from my mom and she had never been in the workforce. She just had great practical sense.

My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little.

I was brought up by a single mom in a poor town in Arkansas and while some aspects of small-town life were really positive - like the fact that everyone there is really sweet and hospitable - there is also this close-minded mentality and that naturally made me want to rebel.

President Obama's fight for rural America is personal. He was raised by a single mom and grandparents from Kansas. He hails from a farming state Illinois.

Well my mom is single and we've both been single at the same time over the last ten years so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane's.

My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life.

The best situation is being a single parent. The best part about is that you get time off too because the kids are with their mom so it's the best of both worlds. There's a lot to be said for it.

You know I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that but it happened.
