I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family give heed to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not you will see what God has willed.

There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.

We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods but family friends and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.

I miss my family and I like being a tourist when I go back.

Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.

My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge huge thing.

Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the '90s version of it. Instead of just watching you can do it together... something we don't spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness.

Interesting things come your way but as you get older your lifestyle changes. I don't want to travel I don't want to be in a hotel room away from my family.

I don't think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.

Life is not a matter of place things or comfort rather it concerns the basic human rights of family country justice and human dignity.

I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.

It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents but especially my mother encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.

A family is very special. So when a family splits up it's not good it's never good.

It's not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish. My family has great storytellers and I grew up in a very funny conversational house and didn't have television. This small family farm was a bubble world that didn't have much to do with reality.

I have a great family by the way but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.

I'm not ready to get married but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too someday.

I think that's become passe but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it then that's a noble project.

For my own family I would always choose the makeshift surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.

I had a number of very strong personalities in my family. My father was a concert flutist the solo flute for Toscanini.

They needed someone to write a script of The Great Gatsby very quickly for the movie they were making. I took this job so I'd be sure to have some dough to support my family.

I have often noticed that ancestors never boast of the descendants who boast of ancestors. I would rather start a family than finish one. Blood will tell but often it tells too much.

Well I have a CBE and I accepted it with glee because it's not bestowed on you by the royal family it's not bestowed on you by the government you have to be nominated by the public.

Everybody sung in my family.
