The mother." ― Claudette Colbert Topic(s): Mom More In Mom "When I resigned, I put the U.S. Government on notice that I’m going to stick to policy issues, that I have no intention of going out and blowing the cover off of the intelligence operations, that those are truly sensitive and they should not be exposed."― Scott Ritter "What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center."― Al Lewis "I’ve always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl.
