I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

I want my daughter to be proud of me and look up to me. I think early on in my pregnancy I realized that to be the mom I want to be I had to change my life and that's what I'm doing.

All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun who does liturgical dance.

He was doing - Ray was designing the clothes for my mom's show from California. And one of the first appearances I ever made on television was on my mother's show and Ray and Bob did the clothes for that. It has been a long time.

My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.

I work too much to be an appropriate parent. I feel like a bad mom to my dog some days because I'm just not here enough. I just feel like I would do a bad job if I took the time to literally give birth to a kid right now and try and juggle everything I'm doing.

I'm a better mother if I'm also doing my work. Some women find a lot more satisfaction from doing the hardest job which is being a mom. But I like my day job so I juggle a lot.

My mom was a single mom and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

I wanted to be a 150% entrepreneur and a 150% mom and I found that I was having a very hard time doing both. I was about 75% and 75% - still better than 100% but not what I was accustomed to at work.

My mom she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

Once in high school I completely over plucked my left eyebrow all the way up to where you're not supposed to. I had no idea what I was doing and it looked terrible! My mom was like 'What did you do to yourself?' I was so embarrassed.

I make a lot of mistakes too and I'm constantly re-evaluating how I'm doing things and trying to be better every day whether it's as a mom or taking care of myself.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly - indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men decency in giving them no offense.

Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing more a cunning thing but very few a generous thing.

Although I do wrong I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing the wrong that I do is through the frailty of human nature like other men. No man lives without fault.
