"I have so much respect for my mom and all the women across the world." ― Jessica Simpson Topic(s): Mom More From Jessica Simpson "A marriage doesn’t have to be perfect, but you can be perfect for each other." "I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren’t an entertainer." "Music will always be my No. 1 passion, but I don’t have to be doing it professionally. It’s not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don’t have to look at it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be." More In Mom "Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence."― Lewis H. Lapham "I probably wouldn’t be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing, I didn’t like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own."― Ne-Yo "My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten, so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them."― Elisabeth Shue
