I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done. But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary.
- Jessica Alba
I consider myself spiritual and I'm married to a man who is both an atheist and a humanist, and my kids have been raised with the traditions of different religions, but they do not go to church or temple. My feeling is that everyone should be able to believe what they want or need to believe.
- Jodi Picoult
I'm always writing, even when I'm not at my desk. I write on my hands. I used to write on my kids' hands, too, but they don't let me any more. When I'm driving I sometimes write all the way up my arms.
- Jodi Picoult
I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.
- Kirstie Alley
If I had free time to go to Los Angeles to shoot a movie, I would rather spend it with my kids.
- Stephen Colbert
It's the end. It's the end of the civilization. We're going down.
No, it's sure not too attractive. Lenticels.
I just hope my kids don't live to see the last days. The things burning and people living in cellars.
Violet.
The only thing worse than the thought it may all come tumbling down is the thought that we may go on like this forever.
- M T Anderson
I have my hands full with my kids and so romance is not high on my list of priorities.
- Pamela Anderson
Nobody is going to take my kids away from me and I will fight to the death for that.
- Peter Andre
My kids are my life and the thought of someone taking them away from me is my worst nightmare.
- Peter Andre
There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.
- Billie Joe Armstrong
My kids say if there's any family dinner that doesn't result in somebody crying, it's not a good dinner. They cry because it helps relieve them of a guilt or some onerous emotional burden. It's like a family tradition.
- William Shatner
I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.
- Kevin Bacon
My children - in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod.
- Steve Ballmer
I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.
- Eric Bana
The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.
- Eric Bana
I figure if my kids are alive at the end of the day, I've done my job.
- Roseanne Barr
I hate every human being on earth. I feel that everyone is beneath me, and I feel they should all worship me. That's what I told my kids. I think I must have been Adolf Hitler in a past life.
- Roseanne Barr
If you want your kids to listen to you, don't yell at them. Whisper. Make them lean in. My kids taught me that. And I do it with adults now.
- Mario Batali
My kids and I make pasta three days a week now. It's not even so much about the eating of it; they just like the process. Benno is the stuffer, and Leo is the catcher. They've got their jobs down.
- Mario Batali
Working at the Food Bank with my kids is an eye-opener. The face of hunger isn't the bum on the street drinking Sterno; it's the working poor. They don't look any different, they don't behave any differently, they're not really any less educated. They are incredibly less privileged, and that's it.
- Mario Batali
My wife Susi and my kids quite simply are the most fun of all my friends.
- Mario Batali
None of my kids can draw!
- Charles M Schulz
I'm a dad, and I no longer see a way for my kids to even inherit the money that I'm making, let alone go out there, have an idea, and create it in their own lifetime.
- Glenn Beck
I have family obligations and all that stuff. I get my kids six weeks in the summer, which is a real intense period of time. I'm with them every minute of the day.
- Tom Berenger
Every other movie is one of those action things. I mean, 'Lost in Space'? A bunch of good actors running around shooting at special effects on a soundstage? I took my kids to see that and felt like I was on an acid trip.
- Tom Berenger
I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
- Yogi Berra
I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I'll have a window with a view.
- Joe Biden
My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff.
- Brad Bird
I had pretty much raised my kids and my first wife and I were divorced, so I began, in earnest, to start my musical career again. Going for the big record deal and all of that.
- Jimmy Carl Black
My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
- Cate Blanchett
I retire with a smile on my face, in good health, and ready to spend autumns at my kids' games instead of my own. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life.
- Drew Bledsoe
If God wants to take my left arm, that's OK, as long as I can walk and play with my kids. I'm a lot improved. I was worse than this after the accident.
- Manute Bol
Do you know what you call those who use towels and never wash them, eat meals and never do the dishes, sit in rooms they never clean, and are entertained till they drop? If you have just answered, "A house guest," you're wrong because I have just described my kids.
- Erma Bombeck
When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.
- Erma Bombeck
My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.
- Erma Bombeck
My kids are free to do what ever they want. Because I only advise. I don't make them do anything.
- Jack Bowman
Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I'd pick my kids any day over any of it.
- Toni Braxton
I have taken the marshmallows off the sweet potatoes, however. They would make a big pan of sweet potatoes and cover it with marshmallows. My kids would love it if I would do that for them!
- Edie Brickell
When I look at my kids, and the ease with which they pick up music, I wish I had that.
- Edie Brickell
What I do with my kids is I tell them I love them every day, but also I tell them the truth.
- Todd Bridges
I've always said that kids should enhance your life, not hinder your life, so I just try to make the most out of being with my kids. You have to have a life for yourself somewhere in the mix of being a wife and mum.
- Melanie Brown
How am I going to explain to my kids one day that I can't buy them a happy meal because the toy will make them fat?
- Carroll Bryant
I am trash and shit and crazy to you and this whole fucking world. You don't care where I live or how I feel, or what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am stupid ad bored and weak, but I am still your responsibility.
- Chuck Palahniuk
You don't care where I live or how I feel, or what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am stupid and bored and weak, but I am still your responsibility.
- Chuck Palahniuk
It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.
- Candace Cameron Bure
I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.
- Stephen Chbosky
My kids - even though it's a family business - they don't even know what day or time 'Survivor' is even on. They just know it's on TiVo.
- Mark Burnett
I would rather be with my kids than anybody else.
- Louis C K
When I take my kids out for dinner or lunch, people smile at us.
- Louis C K
I do feel a lot of times like I'm out of my league with my kids in terms of what my responsibility is.
- Louis C K
My kids are really easy. I often worry that they're too easy to deal with. They're really nice people.
- Louis C K
If I do something for my kids, I get a medal, because most fathers don't.
- Louis C K
I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that.
- Louis C K
I always tell my kids to cut a sandwich in half right when you get it, and the first thought you should have is somebody else. You only ever need half a burger.
- Louis C K
I'm a very traditional person. The tattoos are about my grandmother dying and they tell the story about my mother and father, my brothers and my sister, my kids. It's pretty much a family tree on my arm with my life in football too.
- Timothy F Cahill
All I do is play football, eat, sleep, play with my kids, play football.
- Timothy F Cahill
I know I'll never marry, never risk bringing a child into the world. Because if there's one thing being a victor doesn't guarantee, it's our children's safety. My kids' names would go right into the reaping balls with everyone else's. And I swear I'll never let that happen.
- Suzanne Collins
I had two children. I had a nanny to manage my kids.
- Leslie Caron
Photography has been a passion of mine since I was 15. After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed.
- Angela Cartwright
After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed. I have always had to have an outlet for my creativity and when my life became more about raising my family than the bright lights of show business exploring my photo art was a great outlet for me.
- Angela Cartwright
My kids love Ibiza and we feel committed to it because we keep coming back to the same area. People recognise us in shops now and we have a social life here. We cook at home and have friends around.
- Neneh Cherry
I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.
- Morris Chestnut
I want to invest and have my own record label and artists. I want to have a business where my kids, kids, kids will still have something going on long after I'm gone.
- Chingy
Fame stole my yellow. Yellow is the color you get when you're real and brutally honest. Yellow is with my kidsThe bundle of bright yellow warming my core, formerly frozen and uninhabitableThey got yellow from me, and I felt yellow giving it to them and it was all goodSo, why am I leaving my show? It took my yellow. I wanted it back. Without it I can't live. The gray kills me.
- Rosie O Donnell
The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.
- Joan Collins
My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but 'Harry Potter', too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don't you?
- Robbie Coltraine
Although I managed my schedule to be home by late afternoon most days, basically, Roselle raised our children alone. And so I missed out on a lot of wonderful moments, missed watching my kids grow into the wonderful people they are today.
- Perry Como
My only regret in life is that I didn't spend as much time with my kids as I now wish I had.
- Perry Como
I've chosen not to live in Hollywood, and instead I live in Brooklyn, New York. It's how I like to live. I'd rather hang out with my kids and family when I'm not working. Going to premieres is not my idea of a fun night out.
- Jennifer Connelly
Will Smith is young, he's cool and my kids have his CDs.
- Robert Conrad
I don't watch a lot of TV anymore. A lot of it isn't the kind of thing you can feel comfortable with watching with your kids. And I still feel that way even though, now, my kids are in their 30s.
- Tim Conway
The thing about being at home versus being out in the world working is, it's a whole different vibe. When I'm home with my kids and partner, I will cook - even though she's a very good cook. She's learned over the years. We started with basics, you know, how to saute onions, how to saute mushrooms.
- Cat Cora
When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.
- Kevin Costner
I want to live forever, and I know I won't. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only afraid of one thing: not being able to raise my kids.
- Kevin Costner
I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
- Cindy Crawford
It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.
- Michael Jordan
I'm a taskmaster. I was brought up that way, and I'm sure I imposed that on my kids.
- Hume Cronyn
My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary. My kids understand that I am an actress, and they are always so surprised to hear my voice on a cartoon character, or see my face on a video box. If it ever gets to be too much though, the career and the kids, I will simply set the career aside.
- Joan Cusack
I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys.
- Joan Cusack
There are so many people that have come up to me during our shows and tell me: "The hour that we are watching your show is the hour that my kids are happiest and are smiling, they are laughing," and that is what I long to do.
- Miley Cyrus
I miss my kids sometimes and that can get me down when I've been away working, but then I wake up and recognize how incredibly lucky I am. Spending time being down is less time out there achieving and enjoying.
- Puff Daddy
My character is meant to know nothing about rap, and not to like it very much, but I know about it, because my kids make me listen to it. There's some rap I do like very much. I like Eminem, Blackalicious.
- Harrison Ford
I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.
- Jeff Daniels
I am a struggling writer. A middle-aged man with two little kids and I'm just trying to earn a living. So buy this book - or my kids will have to go to foster care.
- Christopher Darden
My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.
- Chris Daughtry
For me, I want my kids to find their way. If they're interested in something, I want them to try it out.
- Chris Daughtry
I don't want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?
- Chris Daughtry
That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.
- Taylor Dayne
If my musical tastes are continuing to grow up, and I am not really too interested in the music that my kids listen to, then I assume that the audience is doing the same.
- Rick Derringer
People see me now and ask if I'm still running. I may look like I am, but I'm really not. People think I still run every day but I ran for 25 years and I deserve to not do anything but walk or ride the bike with my kids.
- Gail Devers
We go old-school during the summer, like swimming or setting up lemonade stands. I try to teach my kids to make their own fun.
- Gail Devers
I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
- Neil Diamond
My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.
- Phyllis Diller
My kids give me the balance to live right.
- Celine Dion
I used to get stressed out all the time when I thought winning was important. I wanted to try to win and help my kids win. Once I figured out it wasn't about winning or losing, it was about teaching these kids about being men, that's when I started to relax.
- Snoop Dogg
I grew up like Huck Finn, always outdoors, exploring, collecting frogs - there was space everywhere. I want my kids to experience that too. I love being outside.
- Josh Duhamel
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
- Dick Van Dyke
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
- Dick Van Dyke
Probably one of the happiest moments, outside the birth of all of my kids, was the first time we won an Emmy, that the show won an Emmy. That was a big night.
- Dick Van Dyke
Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.
- Sheena Easton
I have the life of Riley. I take my kids to school, do a bit of work in the afternoon, pick my kids up, microwave a meal, hang out with my kids, and work for a couple of hours.
- Sheena Easton
When my kids are in college, maybe I'll drag my fishnets and high heels out.
- Sheena Easton
I'm just passionately in love with my kids.
- Sheena Easton
I'm proud of my kids, they are doing what they want to do.
- Keith Emerson
A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'
- Eminem
I still have the art projects my kids made for me 20 years ago. I cherish them, crude and silly as some of them may be.

The party now is having my kids laugh and my wife laugh and my teammates. I want them to see me have fun and put it in a different way.
- Brett Favre
When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
- Roger Federer
I try and spend a lot of time with my kids. I try and have fun with my kids. I try to put father time in there.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.
- Jodie Foster
My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.
- Jodie Foster
No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.
- Michael J Fox
I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.
- Michael J Fox
I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.
- Michael J Fox
I still consider myself a working-class girl and would send my kids to public school.
- Samantha Fox
People would say, Can we develop a sitcom around you? and I would say, Not interested. I'm very happy doing standup and writing and taking my kids to school.
- Jeff Foxworthy
I remember being in Atlantic City once when I was 18 or 19, and a sea of people were screaming and pulling their hair because I was there. It was weird. Nobody deserves adulation like that. I tried to explain it to my kids once. I said, 'Mommy used to be kind of cool, kind of like a Britney Spears.'
- Genie Francis
I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.
- Morgan Freeman
I have those moments with my kids and family where we try to unplug and just be in the moment. We put everything else to the side and just be there with our family.
- Soleil Moon Frye
My secret agenda is to convey my values to my kids.
- Robert Fulghum
The drink? Yes, I've had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia.
- Paul Gascoigne
I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.
- Ana Gasteyer
I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.
- Haile Gebrselassie
My kids and my family are number one; I enjoy them the most.
- Jami Gertz
When I talk to people, their concern is, how are you going to create jobs? How are you going to help turn this economy around? How are we going to make sure that when my kids get out of high school or college there will be some job there? Those are the concerns that are on their minds.
- Alexi Giannoulias
I hope I'm never a mom. But if I am, I'll make damn sure my kids look up to me.

I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids.
- Steven Spielberg
I'm glad I'm successful at it, because it's allowed me to live very well financially, and give my kids a lot of things. It's enabled me to do stuff that I otherwise wouldn't be able to do. But it's not who I am.
- Judith Guest
I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen.
- Jennifer Lopez
I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for my kids.
- Mia Hamm
I am very disciplined in my life and very up front. It is the only way I can do it and do it well. I am up every day at 7, and I feed my kids, no matter how long the day was.
- Sean Hannity
You think my kids just popped out of the ground?
- Kim Harrison
I'd given up on the white picket fence after Kisten had diedfinding out my kids would be demons was the nail in the coffin.
- Kim Harrison
I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time, you just can't.
- Corey Hart
I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!
- Josh Hartnett
If my kids are doing well, then my life is going pretty well. And if my kids aren't doing well, it doesn't matter how the other elements of my life are. It's kind of amazing to have a context like that. This is really wonderful.
- Ethan Hawke
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.
- Patricia Heaton
Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.

- L Ron Hubbard
I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them.
- Heidi Klum
Before we have children, we think most of the parents sitting in sacrament meeting ought to "do something about their kids." Once we have kids, we think everyone ought to be a lot more understanding about what we're trying to survive during the meeting. And once our kids are grown, we think, "I never let my kids get away with that." We really all need to chill out.
- Dean Hughes
What would Kathy say if she knew I let the whole crew eat those Oreos when they never did eat their carrot sticks (which I had so firmly required as prerequisite)? All three of my kids were probably heading for disease (not enough veggies) and jail (not enough discipline).
- Dean Hughes
Today, I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.
- Jon Huntsman Jr
I've realized how precious life is. When I was younger, I was more adventurous. I felt invincible. I was game for everything. As a mom, I don't want to get injured because then I can't take care of my kids.
- Kristi Yamaguchi
I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids.

I have condemned my kids to a lifetime of geographic illiteracy.

I'm so busy right now, it's the beginning of the hockey season for my kids.

Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn't have. But I don't intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood.
- Curtis Joseph
I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports, or plays, or school performances, so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.
- Christopher Judge
When I'm introduced to a woman for the first time, I always say the same thing. I say, "Hi, I'm Jarod, and I think you'll love my kids. You'd better, because you're going to give birth to them." This usually works, because after I say this I can immediately go back to being an introvert, as I'm left standing there all alone.
- Jarod Kintz
I want to name one of my kids "I'll-Have-A-Large-Cheeseburger." That way, when I show up at McDonalds with my kids and the person behind the counter asks me what I want I'll say, "I'll-Have-A-Large-Cheeseburger, what do you want?" And then the employee will ask if I want fries with that, and I'll reply, "Fries with what? I haven't ordered yet.
- Jarod Kintz
I want my kids to have the things in life that I never had when I was growing up. Things like beards and chest hair.

Not only will my kids be out to replace me, but so will all my clones.
- Jarod Kintz
I've got to put my kids through school. And I like the security of working every day, which is what television is about.
- Stacy Keach
My family deals with those risks. The best I can do is talk to them about some of those risks. I'm not incredibly specific with them, especially with my kids.
- Mark Kelly
Well, right now we're so busy that I kind of had to put all the hobbies on hold. But I like going camping with my kids. I have two daughters; they're 7 and 10 years old.
- Mark Kelly
Look," she sighed. "You might be a lovely lad, in fairness you look like a lovely lad, but I can't take the chance. My kids wouldn't even be able to remember what I was wearing to tell the police. And all the recent photographs of me are bad, very jowly. I couldn't have them stuck to the lamp posts around the city. On your way, son." (Woman to Matt, when he tried to give her a lift.)
- Marian Keyes
Honestly, people have said everything under the sun. I just want to do my work, raise my kids, and hopefully find somebody who I can share my life with again.
- Nicole Kidman
I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world, of character, my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can't imagine what kind of writer I'd be if I didn't have my kids.
- Barbara Kingsolver
My kids get everything they want and are raised well.
- Suge Knight
I figured out, I guess, that the job just makes me happy if it's not number one. So if it all works, great. If it doesn't, I still go home, look at my kids, and I have a big smile on my face.
- Thomas Kretschmann
I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.

You are going to be what you put in your body, so I try to teach that to my kids, and the kids around me.
- Emeril Lagasse

- Emeril Lagasse
In families there is always the mythology. My father died when my kids were quite young still, and yet they still tell his stories. That is how a person lives on.
- Jessica Lange
My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they're worried about scratching the records, but it's incredible!
- Simon Lebon

I went to all the Love-Ins. I took my kids. I enjoyed myself.
- Al Lewis
I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working, it's 100%. When I'm with my friends, I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids, it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time, I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.
- Monique Lhuillier
I've always been honest with all my kids. So I - if they did well, they did well. And if they didn't, actually, I asked, did you try your best? And if they tried their best, then, you know, I back out because I expect them to be honest with me or with themselves. And I can't make you go out there and work out hard.
- Ryan Lochte
If you look at the whole thing, I think the most gratifying thing is my kids, without a doubt.
- Shannon Lucid
That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.
- Reese Witherspoon
Well I had my kids so young that I kind of feel that I'm a kid too and am growing up with them. The things they're interested in tend to really influence me.
- Reese Witherspoon
We had to be very careful on our best behaviour when we went to these other countries. And then I made a living, I had a chance to support my wife and my kids. It was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful program from that point of view.
- Gavin Macleod
If I have a choice between putting my kids to bed and going to a party, I'll put my kids to bed. If I have a choice of going to a restaurant or having friends round, I'll have friends round. Every time.

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.
- Bernard Manning
There's an elegiac quality in watching [American wilderness] go, because it's our own myth, the American frontier, that's deteriorating before our eyes. I feel a deep sorrow that my kids will never get to see what I've seen, and their kids will see nothing; there's a deep sadness whenever I look at nature now.
- Peter Matthiessen
I've got no mother, no wife, no kids. I had, but my mother's dead, and I lost my wife and my kids when I had my trouble. Women are bitches. It's hard for a chap to live without any affection in his life.
- W Somerset Maugham
A soldier's life revolves around his mail. Like many others, I've been able to follow my kid's progress from the day he was born until now he is able to walk and talk a little, and although I have never seen him I know him very well.
- Bill Mauldin
My kids are the future of the Mayweather family and of the Mayweather brand. I feel our family is stronger if we stay together.

- Anne Mccaffrey
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.
- Stella Mccartney
It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.
- Stella Mccartney
- Jessica Alba
I consider myself spiritual and I'm married to a man who is both an atheist and a humanist, and my kids have been raised with the traditions of different religions, but they do not go to church or temple. My feeling is that everyone should be able to believe what they want or need to believe.
- Jodi Picoult
I'm always writing, even when I'm not at my desk. I write on my hands. I used to write on my kids' hands, too, but they don't let me any more. When I'm driving I sometimes write all the way up my arms.
- Jodi Picoult
I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.
- Kirstie Alley
If I had free time to go to Los Angeles to shoot a movie, I would rather spend it with my kids.
- Stephen Colbert
It's the end. It's the end of the civilization. We're going down.
No, it's sure not too attractive. Lenticels.
I just hope my kids don't live to see the last days. The things burning and people living in cellars.
Violet.
The only thing worse than the thought it may all come tumbling down is the thought that we may go on like this forever.
- M T Anderson
I have my hands full with my kids and so romance is not high on my list of priorities.
- Pamela Anderson
Nobody is going to take my kids away from me and I will fight to the death for that.

My kids are my life and the thought of someone taking them away from me is my worst nightmare.
- Peter Andre
There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.
- Billie Joe Armstrong
My kids say if there's any family dinner that doesn't result in somebody crying, it's not a good dinner. They cry because it helps relieve them of a guilt or some onerous emotional burden. It's like a family tradition.
- William Shatner
I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.
- Kevin Bacon
My children - in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod.
- Steve Ballmer
I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.
- Eric Bana
The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.
- Eric Bana
I figure if my kids are alive at the end of the day, I've done my job.
- Roseanne Barr
I hate every human being on earth. I feel that everyone is beneath me, and I feel they should all worship me. That's what I told my kids. I think I must have been Adolf Hitler in a past life.
- Roseanne Barr
If you want your kids to listen to you, don't yell at them. Whisper. Make them lean in. My kids taught me that. And I do it with adults now.
- Mario Batali
My kids and I make pasta three days a week now. It's not even so much about the eating of it; they just like the process. Benno is the stuffer, and Leo is the catcher. They've got their jobs down.
- Mario Batali
Working at the Food Bank with my kids is an eye-opener. The face of hunger isn't the bum on the street drinking Sterno; it's the working poor. They don't look any different, they don't behave any differently, they're not really any less educated. They are incredibly less privileged, and that's it.
- Mario Batali
My wife Susi and my kids quite simply are the most fun of all my friends.
- Mario Batali
None of my kids can draw!
- Charles M Schulz
I'm a dad, and I no longer see a way for my kids to even inherit the money that I'm making, let alone go out there, have an idea, and create it in their own lifetime.
- Glenn Beck
I have family obligations and all that stuff. I get my kids six weeks in the summer, which is a real intense period of time. I'm with them every minute of the day.
- Tom Berenger
Every other movie is one of those action things. I mean, 'Lost in Space'? A bunch of good actors running around shooting at special effects on a soundstage? I took my kids to see that and felt like I was on an acid trip.
- Tom Berenger
I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
- Yogi Berra
I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I'll have a window with a view.

My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff.

I retire with a smile on my face, in good health, and ready to spend autumns at my kids' games instead of my own. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life.
- Drew Bledsoe
If God wants to take my left arm, that's OK, as long as I can walk and play with my kids. I'm a lot improved. I was worse than this after the accident.
- Manute Bol
Do you know what you call those who use towels and never wash them, eat meals and never do the dishes, sit in rooms they never clean, and are entertained till they drop? If you have just answered, "A house guest," you're wrong because I have just described my kids.
- Erma Bombeck
When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.
- Erma Bombeck
My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.
- Erma Bombeck
My kids are free to do what ever they want. Because I only advise. I don't make them do anything.
- Jack Bowman
Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I'd pick my kids any day over any of it.
- Toni Braxton
I have taken the marshmallows off the sweet potatoes, however. They would make a big pan of sweet potatoes and cover it with marshmallows. My kids would love it if I would do that for them!
- Edie Brickell
When I look at my kids, and the ease with which they pick up music, I wish I had that.
- Edie Brickell
What I do with my kids is I tell them I love them every day, but also I tell them the truth.
- Todd Bridges
I've always said that kids should enhance your life, not hinder your life, so I just try to make the most out of being with my kids. You have to have a life for yourself somewhere in the mix of being a wife and mum.
- Melanie Brown
How am I going to explain to my kids one day that I can't buy them a happy meal because the toy will make them fat?
- Carroll Bryant
I am trash and shit and crazy to you and this whole fucking world. You don't care where I live or how I feel, or what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am stupid ad bored and weak, but I am still your responsibility.
- Chuck Palahniuk
You don't care where I live or how I feel, or what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am stupid and bored and weak, but I am still your responsibility.

It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.
- Candace Cameron Bure
I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.

My kids - even though it's a family business - they don't even know what day or time 'Survivor' is even on. They just know it's on TiVo.
- Mark Burnett
I would rather be with my kids than anybody else.
- Louis C K
When I take my kids out for dinner or lunch, people smile at us.
- Louis C K
I do feel a lot of times like I'm out of my league with my kids in terms of what my responsibility is.
- Louis C K
My kids are really easy. I often worry that they're too easy to deal with. They're really nice people.
- Louis C K
If I do something for my kids, I get a medal, because most fathers don't.
- Louis C K
I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that.
- Louis C K
I always tell my kids to cut a sandwich in half right when you get it, and the first thought you should have is somebody else. You only ever need half a burger.
- Louis C K
I'm a very traditional person. The tattoos are about my grandmother dying and they tell the story about my mother and father, my brothers and my sister, my kids. It's pretty much a family tree on my arm with my life in football too.
- Timothy F Cahill
All I do is play football, eat, sleep, play with my kids, play football.
- Timothy F Cahill
I know I'll never marry, never risk bringing a child into the world. Because if there's one thing being a victor doesn't guarantee, it's our children's safety. My kids' names would go right into the reaping balls with everyone else's. And I swear I'll never let that happen.
- Suzanne Collins
I had two children. I had a nanny to manage my kids.
- Leslie Caron
Photography has been a passion of mine since I was 15. After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed.
- Angela Cartwright
After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed. I have always had to have an outlet for my creativity and when my life became more about raising my family than the bright lights of show business exploring my photo art was a great outlet for me.
- Angela Cartwright
My kids love Ibiza and we feel committed to it because we keep coming back to the same area. People recognise us in shops now and we have a social life here. We cook at home and have friends around.
- Neneh Cherry
I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.
- Morris Chestnut
I want to invest and have my own record label and artists. I want to have a business where my kids, kids, kids will still have something going on long after I'm gone.
- Chingy
Fame stole my yellow. Yellow is the color you get when you're real and brutally honest. Yellow is with my kidsThe bundle of bright yellow warming my core, formerly frozen and uninhabitableThey got yellow from me, and I felt yellow giving it to them and it was all goodSo, why am I leaving my show? It took my yellow. I wanted it back. Without it I can't live. The gray kills me.
- Rosie O Donnell
The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.
- Joan Collins
My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but 'Harry Potter', too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don't you?
- Robbie Coltraine
Although I managed my schedule to be home by late afternoon most days, basically, Roselle raised our children alone. And so I missed out on a lot of wonderful moments, missed watching my kids grow into the wonderful people they are today.
- Perry Como
My only regret in life is that I didn't spend as much time with my kids as I now wish I had.
- Perry Como
I've chosen not to live in Hollywood, and instead I live in Brooklyn, New York. It's how I like to live. I'd rather hang out with my kids and family when I'm not working. Going to premieres is not my idea of a fun night out.
- Jennifer Connelly
Will Smith is young, he's cool and my kids have his CDs.
- Robert Conrad
I don't watch a lot of TV anymore. A lot of it isn't the kind of thing you can feel comfortable with watching with your kids. And I still feel that way even though, now, my kids are in their 30s.
- Tim Conway
The thing about being at home versus being out in the world working is, it's a whole different vibe. When I'm home with my kids and partner, I will cook - even though she's a very good cook. She's learned over the years. We started with basics, you know, how to saute onions, how to saute mushrooms.
- Cat Cora
When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.
- Kevin Costner
I want to live forever, and I know I won't. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only afraid of one thing: not being able to raise my kids.
- Kevin Costner
I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
- Cindy Crawford
It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.
- Michael Jordan
I'm a taskmaster. I was brought up that way, and I'm sure I imposed that on my kids.
- Hume Cronyn
My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary. My kids understand that I am an actress, and they are always so surprised to hear my voice on a cartoon character, or see my face on a video box. If it ever gets to be too much though, the career and the kids, I will simply set the career aside.
- Joan Cusack
I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys.
- Joan Cusack
There are so many people that have come up to me during our shows and tell me: "The hour that we are watching your show is the hour that my kids are happiest and are smiling, they are laughing," and that is what I long to do.
- Miley Cyrus
I miss my kids sometimes and that can get me down when I've been away working, but then I wake up and recognize how incredibly lucky I am. Spending time being down is less time out there achieving and enjoying.
- Puff Daddy
My character is meant to know nothing about rap, and not to like it very much, but I know about it, because my kids make me listen to it. There's some rap I do like very much. I like Eminem, Blackalicious.
- Harrison Ford
I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.
- Jeff Daniels
I am a struggling writer. A middle-aged man with two little kids and I'm just trying to earn a living. So buy this book - or my kids will have to go to foster care.
- Christopher Darden
My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.
- Chris Daughtry
For me, I want my kids to find their way. If they're interested in something, I want them to try it out.
- Chris Daughtry
I don't want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?
- Chris Daughtry
That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.
- Taylor Dayne
If my musical tastes are continuing to grow up, and I am not really too interested in the music that my kids listen to, then I assume that the audience is doing the same.
- Rick Derringer
People see me now and ask if I'm still running. I may look like I am, but I'm really not. People think I still run every day but I ran for 25 years and I deserve to not do anything but walk or ride the bike with my kids.
- Gail Devers
We go old-school during the summer, like swimming or setting up lemonade stands. I try to teach my kids to make their own fun.
- Gail Devers
I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
- Neil Diamond
My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.
- Phyllis Diller
My kids give me the balance to live right.
- Celine Dion
I used to get stressed out all the time when I thought winning was important. I wanted to try to win and help my kids win. Once I figured out it wasn't about winning or losing, it was about teaching these kids about being men, that's when I started to relax.
- Snoop Dogg
I grew up like Huck Finn, always outdoors, exploring, collecting frogs - there was space everywhere. I want my kids to experience that too. I love being outside.
- Josh Duhamel
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
- Dick Van Dyke
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
- Dick Van Dyke
Probably one of the happiest moments, outside the birth of all of my kids, was the first time we won an Emmy, that the show won an Emmy. That was a big night.
- Dick Van Dyke
Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.
- Sheena Easton
I have the life of Riley. I take my kids to school, do a bit of work in the afternoon, pick my kids up, microwave a meal, hang out with my kids, and work for a couple of hours.
- Sheena Easton
When my kids are in college, maybe I'll drag my fishnets and high heels out.
- Sheena Easton
I'm just passionately in love with my kids.
- Sheena Easton
I'm proud of my kids, they are doing what they want to do.
- Keith Emerson
A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'
- Eminem
I still have the art projects my kids made for me 20 years ago. I cherish them, crude and silly as some of them may be.

- Brett Favre
When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.

I try and spend a lot of time with my kids. I try and have fun with my kids. I try to put father time in there.

My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.
- Jodie Foster
No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.
- Michael J Fox
I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.
- Michael J Fox
I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.
- Michael J Fox
I still consider myself a working-class girl and would send my kids to public school.
- Samantha Fox
People would say, Can we develop a sitcom around you? and I would say, Not interested. I'm very happy doing standup and writing and taking my kids to school.
- Jeff Foxworthy
I remember being in Atlantic City once when I was 18 or 19, and a sea of people were screaming and pulling their hair because I was there. It was weird. Nobody deserves adulation like that. I tried to explain it to my kids once. I said, 'Mommy used to be kind of cool, kind of like a Britney Spears.'
- Genie Francis
I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.

The drink? Yes, I've had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia.
- Paul Gascoigne
I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.
- Ana Gasteyer
I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.
- Haile Gebrselassie
My kids and my family are number one; I enjoy them the most.
- Jami Gertz
When I talk to people, their concern is, how are you going to create jobs? How are you going to help turn this economy around? How are we going to make sure that when my kids get out of high school or college there will be some job there? Those are the concerns that are on their minds.

I hope I'm never a mom. But if I am, I'll make damn sure my kids look up to me.

- Steven Spielberg

- Judith Guest
I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen.
- Jennifer Lopez
I could sit there and eat pasta all day long and not worry about it when I was younger, and now I really have to focus on making sure I set a good example for my kids.

I am very disciplined in my life and very up front. It is the only way I can do it and do it well. I am up every day at 7, and I feed my kids, no matter how long the day was.
- Sean Hannity
You think my kids just popped out of the ground?
- Kim Harrison
I'd given up on the white picket fence after Kisten had diedfinding out my kids would be demons was the nail in the coffin.
- Kim Harrison
I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time, you just can't.
- Corey Hart
I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!
- Josh Hartnett
If my kids are doing well, then my life is going pretty well. And if my kids aren't doing well, it doesn't matter how the other elements of my life are. It's kind of amazing to have a context like that. This is really wonderful.
- Ethan Hawke
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.

I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them.
- Heidi Klum
Before we have children, we think most of the parents sitting in sacrament meeting ought to "do something about their kids." Once we have kids, we think everyone ought to be a lot more understanding about what we're trying to survive during the meeting. And once our kids are grown, we think, "I never let my kids get away with that." We really all need to chill out.
- Dean Hughes
What would Kathy say if she knew I let the whole crew eat those Oreos when they never did eat their carrot sticks (which I had so firmly required as prerequisite)? All three of my kids were probably heading for disease (not enough veggies) and jail (not enough discipline).
- Dean Hughes
Today, I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.

Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn't have. But I don't intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood.
- Curtis Joseph
I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports, or plays, or school performances, so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.

When I'm introduced to a woman for the first time, I always say the same thing. I say, "Hi, I'm Jarod, and I think you'll love my kids. You'd better, because you're going to give birth to them." This usually works, because after I say this I can immediately go back to being an introvert, as I'm left standing there all alone.

I want to name one of my kids "I'll-Have-A-Large-Cheeseburger." That way, when I show up at McDonalds with my kids and the person behind the counter asks me what I want I'll say, "I'll-Have-A-Large-Cheeseburger, what do you want?" And then the employee will ask if I want fries with that, and I'll reply, "Fries with what? I haven't ordered yet.

I want my kids to have the things in life that I never had when I was growing up. Things like beards and chest hair.

Not only will my kids be out to replace me, but so will all my clones.

I've got to put my kids through school. And I like the security of working every day, which is what television is about.
- Stacy Keach
My family deals with those risks. The best I can do is talk to them about some of those risks. I'm not incredibly specific with them, especially with my kids.

Well, right now we're so busy that I kind of had to put all the hobbies on hold. But I like going camping with my kids. I have two daughters; they're 7 and 10 years old.
- Mark Kelly
Look," she sighed. "You might be a lovely lad, in fairness you look like a lovely lad, but I can't take the chance. My kids wouldn't even be able to remember what I was wearing to tell the police. And all the recent photographs of me are bad, very jowly. I couldn't have them stuck to the lamp posts around the city. On your way, son." (Woman to Matt, when he tried to give her a lift.)
- Marian Keyes
Honestly, people have said everything under the sun. I just want to do my work, raise my kids, and hopefully find somebody who I can share my life with again.
- Nicole Kidman
I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world, of character, my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can't imagine what kind of writer I'd be if I didn't have my kids.
- Barbara Kingsolver
My kids get everything they want and are raised well.
- Suge Knight
I figured out, I guess, that the job just makes me happy if it's not number one. So if it all works, great. If it doesn't, I still go home, look at my kids, and I have a big smile on my face.
- Thomas Kretschmann
I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.
- Lisa Kudrow
You are going to be what you put in your body, so I try to teach that to my kids, and the kids around me.

We'll be going to the fish market and a farmer's market this afternoon to get what we need to make and eat dinner as a family. I'm trying to expose my kids to going to a farmers market or the fish market and learning what that's all about.
- Emeril Lagasse
In families there is always the mythology. My father died when my kids were quite young still, and yet they still tell his stories. That is how a person lives on.
- Jessica Lange
My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they're worried about scratching the records, but it's incredible!

- Peter Lerangis
I went to all the Love-Ins. I took my kids. I enjoyed myself.
- Al Lewis
I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working, it's 100%. When I'm with my friends, I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids, it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time, I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.
- Monique Lhuillier
I've always been honest with all my kids. So I - if they did well, they did well. And if they didn't, actually, I asked, did you try your best? And if they tried their best, then, you know, I back out because I expect them to be honest with me or with themselves. And I can't make you go out there and work out hard.
- Ryan Lochte
If you look at the whole thing, I think the most gratifying thing is my kids, without a doubt.
- Shannon Lucid
That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.
- Reese Witherspoon
Well I had my kids so young that I kind of feel that I'm a kid too and am growing up with them. The things they're interested in tend to really influence me.

We had to be very careful on our best behaviour when we went to these other countries. And then I made a living, I had a chance to support my wife and my kids. It was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful program from that point of view.
- Gavin Macleod
If I have a choice between putting my kids to bed and going to a party, I'll put my kids to bed. If I have a choice of going to a restaurant or having friends round, I'll have friends round. Every time.

There's an elegiac quality in watching [American wilderness] go, because it's our own myth, the American frontier, that's deteriorating before our eyes. I feel a deep sorrow that my kids will never get to see what I've seen, and their kids will see nothing; there's a deep sadness whenever I look at nature now.
- Peter Matthiessen
I've got no mother, no wife, no kids. I had, but my mother's dead, and I lost my wife and my kids when I had my trouble. Women are bitches. It's hard for a chap to live without any affection in his life.

A soldier's life revolves around his mail. Like many others, I've been able to follow my kid's progress from the day he was born until now he is able to walk and talk a little, and although I have never seen him I know him very well.

What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food.
- Anne Mccaffrey
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.

It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.
