It is not government's job to mandate responsibility on our behalf. We have the intelligence and good sense to make wise consumption choices for ourselves and our children. It is up to us to do what is best for our health and our children's health.

Prince Charles is an absolute Mountbatten. The real intelligence in the royal family comes through my parents to Prince Philip and the children.

Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents teachers and with each other carry emotional messages.

Undernourished intelligence becomes like the bloated belly of a starving child: swollen filled with nothing the body can use.

Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor for their curiosity their intolerance of shams the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.

What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.

I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.

The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.

A child who has never fantasized about having other parents is seriously lacking in imagination.

I think we're all a little afraid of the dark. If you lived in the country as I did there's nothing quite like country dark which was really black. And as a child your imagination runs wild.

The Polar Express is about faith and the power of imagination to sustain faith. It's also about the desire to reside in a world where magic can happen the kind of world we all believed in as children but one that disappears as we grow older.

Because of my faith and my imagination I was able to enjoy my childhood even though it was tough.

But there is so much more to do for the city we love... a Dallas with roads as strong as our businesses parks as beautiful as our children a downtown as tall as our imagination.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos I'm in fancy dress playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

Grandchildren have taught me how important the future is. I try to look through their eyes and envision what's in their imagination. What's the world going to look like when they're my age? That really does take a huge imagination.

We didn't have television until I was about eight years old so it was either the movies or radio. A lot of radio drama. That was our television you know. We had to use our imagination. So it was really those two things and the comics that I immersed myself in as a child.

It's a wonderful thing working with young actors. I know a lot of people don't like working with children. I actually adore it because you watch their imagination open up and you watch them start to learn this job that I've been doing for so long. They come with such a lack of cynicism.

I mean it's fine when you're a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes 'I've got this great game of pretend ' and you play... As an actor getting to play getting to use your imagination and be childish - it is weird but it's wonderful.

Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas play with language solve problems use my imagination and draw on my own childhood.

Although I do not have a family I have eyes ears and imagination and know as most people know that the importance of one's children is paramount.

Our imaginations are strong as children. Sometimes they get shoved aside these imaginations. They get dusty and mildewed with age. The imagination is a muscle that has to be put to use or it shrivels.

A place makes a deep impression on you when you're young. It lives with you. It's like your childhood. It fertilises the imagination.

Fairy tales opened up a door into my imagination - they don't conform to the reality that's around you as a child. I started reading when I was three and read everything but I wanted to be an actress.

My greatest strength as a child I realize now was my imagination. While every other kid was reading and writing I had seven whole hours a day to practice my imagination. When do you get that space in your life ever?
