Kids would never care about going to school unless your mama and daddy instilled into your head and explained to you that you need this thing to live.

You play a 'lowdown dirty shame slow and lonesome, my mama dead, my papa across the sea I ain't dead but I'm just supposed to be' blues. You can take that same blues, make it uptempo, a shuffle blues, that's what rock n' roll did with it. So blues ain't going nowhere. Ain't goin' nowhere.

I want to see what this baby's going to be into; how I can participate in his interests. You know, teach him things, see the manners that he will inhabit from both of us and see the first smile and what he's gonna say first. Hopefully 'dada' not 'mama.'

You can't do more mama than Italian Jewish mama.

I was obsessed with Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin; I watched 'Mama's Family' religiously.

I'm always picturing her, whenever I make a catch, her reaction. And sometimes, when I drop a ball, I'm like, 'Darn it. I let my mama down.'

Sometimes I act younger than my daughters. But that's when they say, 'Mama, stop it!'

'Junebug' is my favorite Amy Adams movie. I remember watching 'Mama' a lot.

I think I'm a mama's boy who wanted to be a hockey player, who failed, and had to become a singer. I think that I'm a generous, impatient, kind, jerk.

My grandma told me, don't get into trouble. I know how hard she worked to take care of her own nine kids and my mama's three. And I just never wanted to hurt her. I never wanted to do something that would embarrass her.

The way I make something out of nothing, I got that from my mama. That's 100% her.

Keep going. Grind for what you want. Pray. Listen to your mama.

As the idealized mother, I might choose Irene Dunne as the mother in 'I Remember Mama' who strives and not just cooks and scrubs for her children, but who also acts as her daughter's literary agent.

Yes, I'm mama's girl and she's my world.

I do not want to die being known for doing baby mama DNA tests on my show.

As a kid, I was always inspired by the comedy of Carol Burnett. I loved Dick Clair and Jenna McMahon's 'Mama's Family'.

I'm a mama's boy because everything I do is with respect to my mother. I won't do a movie or a video that would bring disrespect to my mother.

You don't want to disappoint your mama, for that main fact that she's going to get on your behind.

I've just built a studio in my mama's old bedroom, which I thought was fitting; she died last year. We've recorded nine songs recorded in there already; we're sort of just chipping away.

My mama just accepted everybody with open arms. Everybody knew her.
