Love Quote by Farrah Fawcett

"My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son"

About this Quote

A line like this lands less as a lofty manifesto than as a protective boundary drawn in public. “Number one goal” borrows the language of rankings and career ambition, but she flips it into something sturdier: care as a deliberate priority, not a soft sentiment. In the mouth of a famous actress, it reads like a rebuttal to the cultural script that treats motherhood as either a charming accessory or an inconvenience to the “real story” of fame.

The trio of verbs does careful work. “Love” signals devotion, “support” promises resources and stability, and “be there” is the clincher: presence, the thing celebrity life most readily interrupts. It’s also the phrase people reach for when they know they’re being judged on absence. The subtext is a quiet awareness of scrutiny - of tabloids, courtrooms, and the public’s appetite for turning a woman’s personal life into a morality play. She’s not asking for admiration; she’s staking a claim to competence.

Context matters because Fawcett’s celebrity was intensely image-driven, and her private life was treated as communal property. This sentence refuses the glamor frame and substitutes a plain, almost stubborn ethic of responsibility. It’s strategic in its simplicity: no details to litigate, no confessional hooks to exploit. Just a single, legible hierarchy of values designed to cut through noise and re-center the narrative where she wants it: on a child, not a headline.
