"My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death." ― Eliza Dushku Topic(s): Mom More From Eliza Dushku "I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom." "If I wasn’t doing this, I’d be in school studying political science or socioeconomic something. I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society." "When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It’s a cool age." More In Mom "I don’t know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster, and I start that way, the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it."― Lesley Gore "My friends and I would get up early and take our horses through the national forest. My mom was very free. It was always ‘Out of the house!’ There was no watching television on weekends."― Anna Torv "In third grade, I was taking tap-dance lessons, and about six weeks before the recital I wanted to quit. My mom said, ‘No, you’re going to stay with it.’ Well, I did it, and I was bad, too! But my parents never let their kids walk away from something because it was too hard."― Rebecca Lobo
