I was the one that put myself in rehab. I was the one that went to my parents and said, you know, 'I have a problem and I need to take care of it.'
- Nicole Richie
1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me, most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.
- Leon Askin
I was really small when jazz broke through in England and I can still remember sneaking off to the living room to listen to it on the radio - much to my parent's disapproval.
- Jeff Beck
I was a complete tomboy. I loved wandering out in storms or walking on the beaches in the dark. It was a very free upbringing, and I'm grateful to my parents for that.
- Amanda Burton
I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.
- Jenna Bush
As I got older, I never considered that tons of people were watching me on television every week. I give a nod to my parents for keeping me as normal as I could be in an un-normal adult world.
- Angela Cartwright
All Asian parents are into your children having a respectable, decent stable job. Acting was unimaginable to my parents.
- Joan Chen
It wasn't a secret that I was gay. I'd come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car.
- Mary Cheney
There should have been a dark whisper in the wind. Or maybe a deep chill in the bone. Something. An ethereal song only Elizabeth or I could hear. A tightness in the air. Some textbook premonition. There are misfortunes we almost expect in lifewhat happened to my parents, for exampleand then there are other dark moments, moments of sudden violence that alter everything. There was my life before the tragedy. There is my life now. The two have very little in common.
- Harlan Coben
I will always be the way I was a couple years ago before anything happened. And that's to my parents' credit, my amazing parents who have been around me my whole life and raised me right. I'm very happy with what has happened so far.
- Kaley Cuoco
I owe a lot to my parents.
- Maria Sharapova
I haven't actually spoken to my parents since the hurricane.
- Faith Ford
The education of my brother and myself was of paramount importance to my parents, and in addition to their strong encouragement, they were prepared to make any sacrifice to further our intellectual development.
- Jerome Isaac Friedman
My thoughts turned back to my parents and their apparent penchant for being big ol' liars.
- Rachel Hawkins
I was wondering if the scene in the drawing-room had been a triumph or a disaster or merely a chaotic piece of bad taste verging on bathos, but I reflected that the only important question was whether I had communicated my message to my parents. I continued to smoke my cigarette and occasionally I shuddered. I wondered dimly how anyone ever survived their families.
- Susan Howatch
She introduced herself to my parents with one of her mighty, bunny-crushing handshakes. (I'd never seen Claudia crush a bunny, to be fair, but that's the approximate level of pressure.)
- Maureen Johnson
Yes, and when I had Aaron, he left me, and I didn't know how to raise a child. And I wasn't close to my parents, and because I was too proud to go to my parents for help, I mistreated that little baby. I didn't want a baby.
- Lynn Johnston
If I could do one thing over I'd have been nicer to my parents.
- January Jones
The main reason I wanted to be successful was to get out of the ghetto. My parents helped direct my path.
- Florence Griffith Joyner
I'm an only child, so logically I gave birth to my parents, because if it weren't for me they wouldn't be parents at all, they'd simply be a married couple. (Or maybe without me they wouldn't even have been married!)
- Jarod Kintz
If I gave my mother a knitted scarf she'd be worried I was wasting my time doing stupid stuff like knitting instead of school work. Presenting a homemade knitted object to my parents was actually like handing them a detailed backlog of my idleness.
- Mindy Kaling
I had been a girl of whom certain things were expected, none of them too bad: a career as a nurse, for example; a sense of duty to my parents; obedience to the law and worship of convention. But in one year of being away from home, that girl had gone out of existence.
- Jamaica Kincaid
This story is based on a gentleman who indeed did... used to come to my parents' house in 1971 from Bangladesh. He was at the University of Rhode Island. And I was four, four years old, at the time, and so I actually don't have any memories of this gentleman.
- Jhumpa Lahiri
If my duty to my parents is a superstition, then so is my duty to posterity. If justice is a superstition, then so is my duty to my country or my race. If the pursuit of scientific knowledge is a real value, then so is conjugal fidelity. The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed they would find that they had destroyed themselves.
- C S Lewis
I really owe everything to my parents and their devotion and drive to see to it that their children had the education which led to the opportunities that they never were able to have.
- George J Mitchell
I owe a lot to my parents, especially by mother and my father.
- Greg Norman
I do tend to look back to my parents generation and think wow! what a great way to be, to live with one person for a lifetime, to bring your kids up in these really solid families.
- Tony Parsons
Everyone, from the Mother Superior to the priests to my parents--they were so upset and reproachful...I felt as if something they all passionately believed in depended on me carrying on with something I didn't.
- Philip Pullman
I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!
- Ryan Reynolds
When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.
- Alain Robert
Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent's sacrifices, and to the United States of America.
- Marco Rubio
The bullied straight kid goes home to a shoulder to cry on and support and can talk freely about his experience at school and why he's being bullied. I couldn't go home and open up to my parents.
- Dan Savage
And friends of mine that had photography class in high school would develop the film and make prints and I'd take them back to the track and give 'em away or try and sell them. Much to my parents' dismay, I majored in photography in college.
- John Sexton
