A Modern Mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. A Modern Mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.

My mom lived by herself with two kids. Sacrifice was the name of the game at our house.

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.

A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general.

If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you fill her above the brim with love of herself all that runs over will be yours.

I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me I would of course try to restrain them.

I was just learning to play guitar when Tracy Chapman came out. She wrote these songs she played them by herself and I so admired her for that.

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation the world supplied the first model while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals but like God Himself if I may venture to say it.

I remember when I was a kid watching my mother jam herself into her girdle - a piece of equipment so rigid it could stand up on its own - and I remember her coming home from fancy parties and racing upstairs to extricate herself from its cruel iron grip.

Whether a woman's running for office or she's supporting her husband who's running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat there's just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena.
