My whole family is very sarcastic and constantly making jokes.

A rumor that followed me forever was that my family was in the mafia. For years I had to live with it. They'd call me the mafia princess so I rolled with it for the rest of high school. People even joke about it today.

From very early on in my childhood - four five years old - I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet because I felt disconnected - I was very tall and skinny and I didn't look like anybody else I didn't even look like any member of my family.

You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.

I am like a kid. I tell my family and friends I'm like a kid.

The left sees nothing but bigotry and superstition in the popular defense of the family or in popular attitudes regarding abortion crime busing and the school curriculum.

I'm not asking that people accept homosexuality. I'm not asking that they believe like I do that it's inborn. I'm not asking that. All I'm saying is don't let these children suffer without a family because of your bias.

I do come from a strong family.

Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.

My health and my family are the core of my being.

My family and friends treat me as they always have.

I would look at a dog and when our eyes met I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.

A loving family provides the foundation children need to succeed and strong families with a man and a woman - bonded together for life - always have been and always will be the key to such families.

I'm the git in the family.

When I go back to family reunions everybody goes 'Hey cousin! Hey Auntie!' And I'm like 'Okay I don't know you I have no idea who you are.' I am auntie and cousin for so many and even the ones in prison call me collect. And I'll be like 'Which of my family members are giving you this phone number?'

I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Everything in moderation. I know that's really hard for people to understand but I grew up in an Italian family where we didn't overdo anything. We ate pasta yes but not a lot of it.

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy substance abuse and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
