“Fifteen years ago I knew I had to settle into being a mom and give them a normal life, which I never had. I was always traveling. I had tours. I wanted my kids to settle down, and we kind of did it together.... It was a bumpy transition. There was no director telling me what to do. No script, but I really enjoyed it. I even became president of the PTA. Doing the laundry was a meditative experience. Now, when I start to get nervous and stressed, I go in and start to fold towels.” GivingYearsKindKidsWantedTogetherPresidentMomDirectorsNormalYears AgoDown AndScriptsNervousEnjoyedSettlingTransitionFifteenFoldsStressedBeing A MomNormal LifeLaundrySettling DownFifteen YearsTowelsPta Author:Pia Zadora

“You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk R-rated. I mean I've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk.
