My own mother always taught me that fairness was a family value - I think equal pay is about fairness for everyone.

I'm getting older now so I should think about a family but certainly not tomorrow.

I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.

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.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited and then end up embarrassing family friends and even strangers.

If you share a common ancestor with somebody you're related to them. It doesn't mean that you're going to invite them to the family reunion but it means that you share DNA. I think it's fascinating.

Thinking back to those earlier days I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies and then when I was I thought I was weak as a family member.

I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there's a point where one says that's for family that's for me.

I think my father would have liked to have been an artist actually. But I think he didn't quite have perhaps the drive or I don't know I mean he had a family to bring up I suppose.

No doubt the White House thinks the American people know Obama's story. But since the Inauguration we've seen only the president's present: his perfect family his Ivy League elegance his effortless mastery of complex issues. We never see him sweat. And we forget that he ever had to struggle.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

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 think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build and what can happen to you and your family.

If you have issues with family friends and people at work try and solve these issues head on so you can move on and concentrate on having the life you want. Think about what you can do so that you are happy with yourself - for instance eating right to feel great and energetic.

When you look at Prince Charles don't you think that someone in the Royal family knew someone in the Royal family?

There's a bond among a kitchen staff I think. You spend more time with your chef in the kitchen than you do with your own family.

And when I was young my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.

I guess you could say I devoted myself so strongly to my music that for awhile I forgot about my family. But I only get one set of parents and I think I forgot about that for a little while.

I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it with my family while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country though I am an American and am loyal to my country.

I think illness is a family journey no matter what the outcome. Everybody has to be allowed to process it and mourn and deal with it in their own way.

I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?

Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They're keeping up with their friends and family but they're also building an image and identity for themselves which in a sense is their brand. They're connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It's almost a disadvantage if you're not on it now.

I think every chef not just in America but across the world has a double-edged sword - two jackets one that's driven a self-confessed perfectionist thoroughbred hate incompetence and switch off the stove take off the jacket and become a family man.

Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy we think to be loyal to a family and clan whose blood is in your own veins.
