I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

I know that campaigns can seem small and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message believe me - so am I.

At first I could not believe what I was reading. I got up from my seat and walked away talking to myself that I may have found my mom.

When I was going on auditions it was nerve-racking. I'd always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along I said 'You know what Mom? I believe I'm going to get this role.'

In fact my mom always told me because I was the daughter of an Army officer born overseas in Paris France that under the Constitution she believed that I could never run for president.

I still feel like a kid sometimes myself so hard to believe that I'm a mom. Now I'm an adult! It only took 38 years!

I wanted to be an astronaut and wanted to go to space camp but then I found out that I was too short to become an astronaut. My mom really made me believe that if I worked hard enough and if I really wanted to do it I could do it.

I do believe that there are African Americans who have thick accents. My mom has a thick accent my relatives have thick accents. But sometimes you have to adjust when you go into the world of film TV theatre in order to make it accessible to people.

Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason and if you just go with it that's where the best moments come from.

My mom always says 'If you don't believe in something you'll lose yourself completely.'

The 'believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.

My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.

Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.

Men should only believe half of what women say. But which half?

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.

Such is the nature of men that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

Men become civilized not in proportion to their willingness to believe but in proportion to their readiness to doubt.
