Text Quotes
I wasn’t happy at all as a child. I was very privileged and knew extraordinary people, but I felt very lonely: my mother thought I was extremely difficult and my grandmother was extremely severe.  (Grandmother Quotes) I have lived with extraordinary women, whether it was my grandmother, my mother. My father passed away when I was 16... I was witness to a woman who single handedly brought up the entire family and managed to do everything... She was an extraordinary role model for me.  (Grandmother Quotes) My paternal grandmother gave me the courage to investigate things and not take things at face value or judge people by what I first imagine them to be.  (Grandmother Quotes) I grew up in Nacogdoches, Texas... raised by my grandmother. We were very poor and had no indoor plumbing. My grandmother was a very religious woman, though, and she gave me a lot of faith and inner strength.  (Grandmother Quotes) The women in my family - my grandmother and my mother - have been both sources of comfort and terror. Protection was not always available.  (Grandmother Quotes) My whole family is spiritual. My grandmother, grand aunt, cousins, they’re all preachers and pastors. Spirituality is a part of my family, from generations ago.  (Grandmother Quotes) I was brought up to look after my parents. My family were Polish Jews, and we lived with my grandmother, with uncles and aunts and cousins all around, and I thought everybody lived like that.  (Grandmother Quotes) We actually have a small family. It’s just my father and I and my grandmother, who lives in Tokyo. I cherish my friendships.  (Grandmother Quotes) I get my voice from my mother’s side of the family. My mother and my grandmother both had strong voices.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother died of natural causes. Or as my family calls it murdered by the lord.  (Grandmother Quotes) My family was into music. My dad was into music down south. My mom and grandmother were into gospel music so there were all types. That was my inspiration.  (Grandmother Quotes) My Swedish grandmother was the daughter of a dairy farmer who lived near Hedemora. My Swedish grandfather worked as a clerk for the Swedish railways in the Stockholm station.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother was the daughter of pioneers, as was my grandfather, and they were farmers. And they worked the land, and there is a grounded value system that becomes inherent in knowing what’s real and what’s powerful. And understanding the material nature of not only man, but beasts and profit and all of those things that you fight for.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother, in her retirement home, actually has a picture of me from ‘Star’ magazine on their fashion police list. I think that’s hilarious, but if Grandma approves, then I feel like I am all good.  (Grandmother Quotes) After my grandmother passed away, I felt the urge to take my camera to her flat. I knew this flat from my childhood in Tel Aviv. Going to this flat was like going abroad; there was a real feeling of traveling across Tel Aviv and ending up in Berlin.  (Grandmother Quotes) Before the day my grandmother shared her treasured letters with me, I honestly wasn’t much of a fiction reader, let alone creative writer.  (Grandmother Quotes) My mother and my great-aunt told me stories, like how when my grandfather first met my grandmother at a party, he noticed her long legs and was like, ‘Woo woo!’ I like to incorporate those stories into my music. They just seem to fit.  (Grandmother Quotes) When I met Rachel Robinson for the first time, she is a regal woman, and she was like a grandmother in that first meeting.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother is still a woman who worries about what she looks like when she goes outside. She’s from that era, and I can remember saying to her, ‘Grandmother, we’re just going to the grocery store.’ And she’d be like, ‘I’ve got to fix my face!’ You were very aware of how you were presenting yourself to society in 1960s Las Vegas.  (Grandmother Quotes) My first collection was made from sheets that my grandmother, who lived in Normandy, had been collecting for a long time. There are a lot of flea markets in that part of France, and she knew what I liked.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother was, back when they called them ‘stewardesses,’ a flight attendant. I actually had a ball wearing that little uniform and making sure everything was under control.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother thinks it’s really funny to put all sorts of things in our - my lunch. I never know what’ll be inside: e.e. cummings, flower petals, a handful of buttons. She seems to have lost sight of the original purpose of the brown bag. - Lennie Or maybe she thinks other forms of nourishment are more important. - Joe  (Grandmother Quotes) One of the great tragedies I see is people not putting every effort into the foundation of their marriage. My grandmother told me that it’s one man and one woman for life and that your marriage is worth fighting for.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother, Angela, was the Fox family matriarch. She was magnetic but also wicked. She had this huge life force and was great fun, but she would play each member of the family off against each other, which could make for extremely dramatic Christmases.  (Grandmother Quotes) I got my sense of humor from my grandmother. You know, my grandmother was very funny.  (Grandmother Quotes) It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with gourmet status.  (Grandmother Quotes) I was raised by my grandparents, who had a little general store. My grandmother, Marion Dunham Bowman, was a graduate of Albany Law School. Although she never did practice law, she kept the house filled with books. It’s because of her that I was always reading.  (Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother taught me that accomplishments meant less than what you left behind. I started to ask myself what impact my comedy would have on people’s lives. And that changed my act. I got cleaner. I stopped talking about generic stuff like airplane peanuts and started speaking the truth about my gift.  (Grandmother Quotes) Tintin comics evoke Bermuda, where my parents doled out comics for good behavior and my grandmother taught me how to shuffle cards.  (Grandmother Quotes) I’ve had lots of kids come up and ask for my autograph, I’ve had a grandmother stop me and ask me if I know a good place to buy underwear.  (Grandmother Quotes)
