"My mom lived by herself with two kids. Sacrifice was the name of the game at our house." ― Victor Cruz Topic(s): Mom More From Victor Cruz "It is funny what a year can do." "There were times when I thought I would never own a car." "My mom was dying for me to write a book, she was my biggest advocate." More In Mom "My mom was so people-friendly. She was incredible. She’d go to the mall, and she’d talk to everyone. Give people a kiss on the cheek. I think if I wasn’t pushed around a lot, I’d be great with people. Maybe I still can be."― Fred Couples "I’m not a great poetry fan."― Rupert Everett "The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children."― Jessica Lange
