Julie Bowen stars as Claire, the beautiful wife and loving mother of three on ABC's Modern Family.  Claire had a bit of a wildstreak growing up and now she's trying as hard as she can to prevent her daughter Haley from doing the same.  Meanwhile, she still has to deal with her ridiculous husband trying to be the kids' friend rather than parents.  Tough break.

Claire Dunphy Quotes

Claire: I was out of control growing up, there you know, I said it. I just don't want my kids to make the same bad mistakes I made. If Hailey never wakes up on a beach in Florida half naked, I've done my job.
Phil: Our job.
Claire: Right, I've done our job
