“What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I was an organizer in the Food, Agricultural and Tobacco Workers Union down in North Carolina.
My mother stopped working when she had my brother. She was a full time mom until I started getting heavily into ice skating lessons, and it got to the point where they really needed my mom to earn an income.
My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.
I think my first big purchase was actually for my mom. She had one of those '90s TVs in her living room that's like a 10x10 brick, so I purchased her a flatscreen for her living room.
