"My mother worked in factories, worked as a domestic, worked in a restaurant, always had a second job." ― Ed Bradley Topic(s): Mom More From Ed Bradley "I will not go into a story unprepared. I will do my homework, and that’s something I learned at an early age." "The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out, I had the rent for the month." "Be prepared, work hard, and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are, the more luck you might have."

We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles."― Brooke Shields "My mom was definitely very strict with me."― Gloria Estefan "I remember my mom dressed like Janis Joplin."― Bryan White
