Alias's Michael Vartan, 33, when asked by PEOPLE.com why his artist mother, Doris, is special, jokes, "Do you have enough tape? You only have one mother and they take care of you from the minute you squeeze out and they love you more than anything, and if it's okay to curse, you could basically s--- on a canvas and they would think it was a Picasso and they're wonderful. . .They're the embodiment of all that is good."
