AP promoted me to the White House beat because I knew Clinton his family friends and staff better than anybody in the national press corps. Those contacts helped me break a few stories and get my career in Washington jump-started.

I married him because he told me it was the only way he could protect me. If we were just manager and client my family could do whatever they wanted to get me back but if I was his wife they couldn't.

Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.

I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distractions the continued hurt caused on me and my family not because we are not fighters. Not because I'm not a fighter.

Stay out of the sun because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I'm very medical. I come from a medical family.

You go to a restaurant in the States and kids have these game boards at the table. You don't see that in Italy or Spain. It's not because they can't afford to buy them it's because that's not what eating together as a family is about.

I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family passionate relationships dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy because my mother kept a great deal to herself.

Because of my own family's service (in the U.S. Army Navy and Massachusetts and New York National Guard) I am a strong supporter of the military and do believe that there are just wars.

My mother at least twice cancelled our family's subscription to the newspaper I was working on because she was so mad about its treatment of my father.

I love where I'm from. I don't live there because of the circumstances but all my family is there. It's what's inside it's not what's outside that determines the culture and the feeling.

I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.

I don't think a female running a house is a problem a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man.

I grew up in a family that was multifaceted sexually oriented and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

And so I look at it as a relationship that I have with him that I want to give him the honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity. And then right after I give him the honor and glory I always try to give my teammates the honor and glory. And that's how it works because Christ comes first in my life and then my family and then my teammates.

The only people that you really have that I learned are your family because they love you no matter what.

I love when I go out and I have my hair and makeup done but I also like it when I'm just with the family because that's real.

Because I didn't have brothers I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I've always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters.

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.

My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them 'Hey I'm rich'.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing I fear for their safety.

I am not generous about telling people who I am and what I like to do because it's my life and it only belongs to me and my friends and family.
