I was alone a lot as a kid, because my parents were divorced.
I never even had a bachelorhood: I went straight from my parents' home to a marriage.
We learn much of parenting from our own parents. My love for my father deepened profoundly when he was kind, patient, and understanding.
Home is our greatest place of trials.
The most influential of all educational factor is the conversation in a child's home.
Unlike my mother, my father does not cry quietly. His wails roll out like a wave of pain, and I scramble to roll up my window. My mother cannot hear that. I cannot bear to hear it myself. I am not use...
Can you taste it Bruce? Can you taste the filth, the dirt, the oily blackness of that fossil fuel in our mouth as you choke and gag and spit it out? Do you still hear his voice in your head urging you...
My parents are very proud of my success but still worry, as I'm in a profession where there is no guarantee of work. They have always supported my decision to go into acting, but there have been tough...
My parents and I didn't speak for 10 years. It took a long time to rebuild that relationship.

My parents know I was outgoing as a child, and whenever people came over, I'd automatically do impressions of them as soon as they left; it was my mom's favorite thing. Yes, I grew up in Hollywood, bu...
My parents were dismayed by my love of horror movies as a young girl, then even more dismayed when I kept rooting for Dracula to win instead of Van Helsing.
While my mother lived, I always felt to a certain degree as if I had somebody who was my superior and who exercised a mysterious protection over me. I belonged to something - I hung to something - the...
I'd love for mental illness to be seen in the way that other horrible illnesses are. When people get cancer, very few parents will say, 'Oh I feel so bad for giving you so much unhealthy food over the...
Christopher Walken and Nathalie Baye played my parents so well that I really thought I was in my living room at Christmas. My mother couldn't have been played more correctly.
I was brought up to believe that it's family first. Of all the people my parents knew, the family was most important. You always turn to your family, and the family supports you. We do what we can to...
These are all voluntary resources which help parents sort out the choices without infringing on the artists' rights to free speech, which is something that we respect.
... education is the second food a parent can give a child.
Cool parents, I thought, are the ones who know nothing. It made me feel a little sad for mine, but I didn't say any of this.
