"My mom loved rock ‘n roll. My father hated it. We couldn’t play it when he was around." ― Patti Smith Topic(s): Mom More From Patti Smith "In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth." "I am not really certain how original my contribution to music is as I am obviously an amateur." "Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo – Jo being the writer and the misfit." More In Mom "I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn’t, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don’t think any of my relatives are surprised."― Amy Lee "My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true."― Lenny Kravitz "It’s impossible to put yourself first when you’re a mom."― Jillian Michaels
