Many people don't realize that June Carter Cash was my godmother. She and mother were very tight.

Roy, the guy I play in 'The Grifters,' is a guy who had a very bleak life. His mother had him at 13, and then when she was 17 or 18 and he was 4 or 5, they were trapped in a small Texas town somewhere, and she was ready to do anything to get out.

My mother's father was the behavioral psychologist, John B. Watson.

My mother quit her job in advertising in order to raise us and she really allowed and encouraged us to be ourselves.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.

Thanks to my mother, I graduated. But then we lost everything, we were homeless.

I didn't have anything to do with being born to my mother and father. But I had a lot to do with Kristin Shepard's notoriety. I'm proud of the work I did on Dallas.

You cannot have another 'Ten Commandments' or 'Ben Hur' or 'Sholay' or 'Mother India.' Likewise you cannot have another 'Mahabharat.'

My grandmother was a flight attendant; my mother had a pilot's license, and my grandfather was a pilot. That's how my grandmother and grandfather met.

Someday I will get married, and I should be able to watch my films with my children, mother-in-law, and father-in-law.

I have no problems with private schools. I graduated from one and so did my mother. Private schools are useful and we often use public funds to pay for their infrastructures and other common needs.

My mother wanted me to be friends only with children she considered socially suitable.

My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra.

What scared me was my mother getting evicted from my house. Seeing them repo my momma's car once. Wondering if I didn't provide for her where she was going to be or if I didn't provide for her, where my sister was going to be. Those are the things that scared me.

I have 10 brothers and sisters. My mother raised us because my father died when I was 8.

My mother is a Chitrapur Saraswat from Mangalore and half-Telugu, and my father is a Bohri Muslim. My mother's father, J Rameshwar Rao, was the Raja of Wanaparthy, a principality of Hyderabad. He was influenced by the socialist movement and became the first Raja to give up his title.

When I was a little girl, I used to walk around with a towel on my head, pretending I was a nun. And then one day my mother said, 'Why don't you just become an actress, and then you can pretend you're a nun.'

My mother negotiated a plea deal, and my father went to trial. I think one thing we notice in their case that kind of stands out is how, in some ways, arbitrary the outcomes in the criminal justice system can be. And they did basically the same thing, identical thing.

My mother's a secretary; my father's an electrician in a mining company.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.
