A show that no one thought had a chance has just finished its fifth year: Charmed. I think it's tougher for the younger networks so I think they have a little more patience for the sake of the show. But who knows?

I have three daughters so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.

I'm a Cancerian the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty but I can take it if someone doesn't like my music - I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

Any time you end a relationship and everyone has ended plenty in their life it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.

I've been involved with violent movies and then I've also said at a certain point 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know you've got to respect the filmmaker and it's a really tough issue.

Change is tough people don't like it but it is necessary. Take two aspirins and call me in the morning.

Clearly this is a tough economic time and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

I think it's a tough road if you're a stay-at-home mom a working mom if you have a partner if you don't. It's the best job in the world and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.

My mother and my grandmother are pioneers of Mexican cuisine in this country so I grew up in the kitchen. My mom Zarela Martinez was by far my biggest influence and inspiration - and toughest critic.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did I think 'Wow that's a really wonderful man.'

I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough you should go out and help someone else.

My mom used to say that I became a fighter and a scrapper and a tough guy to protect who I am at my core.

Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth bluntly directly and without much varnish. I am her son.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times but she was always there for me.

My mom was tough.

My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man but she was tough.

That strong mother doesn't tell her cub Son stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says Toughen up this is reality we are living in.

Brave men are all vertebrates they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

That's why I wanted to be part of this AIDS Project Los Angeles party. We help raise funds for those who are having a tough time with some very basic necessities like shelter food and medical care.

Marriage even the best marriages are tough.

My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to but a tough one.

In a broken marriage it can be challenging and tough to get that work/life balance. I love performing but I also love being a mum and I hate having to choose between them.

I don't know what makes a marriage work. My husband and I don't have it right at all it's very tough on him. From the outside it looks like it's all about me - I have a glorious career and he doesn't.
