Some of the best times I've spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings and more recently with my own kids. That is why I'm concerned to see today's kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature.

I care so passionately about improving the quality of life for women and girls not just here in the United States but internationally as well. I am a single mom and I raised a daughter who is now a young adult.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in children and teaching and writing.

My mom is like this hard-core liberal feminist. She's a professor in Boston and she's been teaching women's studies for 30 years and international politics.

No my mom kind of led me toward acting. She wanted to be an actress when she was younger. That made me interested in it when I was a kid because she and I are very close.

I grew up painting and playing piano so when I was a little kid I thought I was going to be an artist or a painter but my mom had me taking piano lessons for about 10-12 years as a young kid.

I don't spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review and she'll forward it to me. She's like my little Internet filter. It's always nice to see something going up if I want to find something on Nathan Fillion I do know where to look but I've got a nice little delivery system in my mom.

We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult she's not paying attention anymore.

My mother said to me 'If you are a soldier you will become a general. If you are a monk you will become the Pope.' Instead I was a painter and became Picasso.

Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women's clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wear.
