I think my mother had a lot of opportunity when she was a kid. She was a model, and she did a lot of things in her life, but she had no real ambition. I think my mother really did want a home and kids and all of that.

More quotes by Kim Basinger
I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she'll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.
Kim Basinger
Parents can be very influential in designing those little creepy-crawlers that jump around in your mind for the rest of your life. It's the fear of not being good enough.
Kim Basinger
I'm a very determined person.
Kim Basinger
My dad had even hired an accompanist to play for me on a piano. But he had never pushed me to music because I don't think he wanted me to be hurt as much as he was if it didn't work.
Kim Basinger
I look at marriage and I think marriage is phenomenal. I think it's great. I don't hold anything against marriage.
Kim Basinger
I'm all for anybody having a party who wants that. The funny thing about me and birthdays or any kind of celebration where it brings attention to you in that way is that it's never been anything that I've thoroughly enjoyed - even as a little kid.
Kim Basinger
I'm not too in love with the word ambition, but I was driven.
Kim Basinger
As a child, I was very shy. Painfully, excruciatingly shy. I hid a lot in my room. I was so terrified to read out loud in school that I had to have my mother ask my reading teacher not to call on me in class.
Kim Basinger
The media paint ugly pictures about you.
Kim Basinger
You don't always have to be doing something. The most of something that you can do sometimes is to be in the present doing nothing.
Kim Basinger
I grew up on soul music. I was a dancing little creep.
Kim Basinger
I've played a mother many times, even in tragic things like, I Dreamed of Africa, so I know how it is to lose a child cinematically. I have so much compassion on so many fronts, for women who have lost children or tried for years and couldn't have them.
Kim Basinger
My dad studied at the American Conservatory in Chicago, so he lived on all those streets. He said the war probably saved his life because he'd have ended up a dead musician, with all the crazy stuff they did on Rush Street back in the day.
Kim Basinger
I've done so many dramas in my life, and people don't even know I came from comedy.
Kim Basinger
Children need to grow up and make their own decisions - how they want to pierce their bodies or do whatever they need to.
Kim Basinger
I'm very thankful that I've had such longevity and variety.
Kim Basinger
My dad worked very hard for the money he made, and my mom worked very hard to keep this household up and running and all the kids fed and everything. And she did it in a brilliant fashion. They both did. In fact, the work ethic, to me, is so important in this life.
Kim Basinger
You never stop the measuring process because these are oceans that are so deep that they have no bottom, and it takes a long time to know that. It only goes to a higher place after you've gone to the depths where you think there's a bottom - and when you find out that there is no bottom, it just rises up into this plume of euphoria.
Kim Basinger
I'm my own worst enemy sometimes when I pick projects.
Kim Basinger
I've been so blessed because I've had such longevity. I'm not a big red carpet girl. But I love the work. In this business, you can be at the top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel, and you're grape juice. I've been at both ends. It can make you become what you really are.
Kim Basinger
