I grew up in a family that was multifaceted sexually oriented and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

Going home and spending time with your family and your real friends keeps you grounded.

When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.

Over the last couple of years I've really worked toward balancing my life out more having a little bit more time with friends family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside so be it.

I'm thankful to my family friends and fans for all of their support.

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.

I realised how paranoid and guarded and not trusting - walled-in - I had become. Not consciously so but just this armour that I kind of have protective armour. It's not for my friends or family but for being.outside in the world always on guard.

I am not generous about telling people who I am and what I like to do because it's my life and it only belongs to me and my friends and family.

Let your family staff and friends know that you're still the same person despite all the publicity and notoriety that accompanies your position.

You know my family and friends have never been yes-men: 'Yes you're doing the right thing you're always right.' No they tell me when I'm wrong and that's why I've been able to stay who I am and stay humble.

I'm surrounded by great friends and family. I don't know what I would do without them.

I've never had a divorce but I've seen so many of my friends my sister my family go through that stuff so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow so I'm able to kind of express it or their joy.

I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around.

Life goes by really fast and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.

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.

The only sensible ends of literature are first the pleasurable toil of writing second the gratification of one's family and friends and lastly the solid cash.

Sure I have friends plenty of friends and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family with money but selfish with the important stuff like love.

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 say If everybody in this house lives where it's God first friends and family second and you third we won't ever have an argument.

I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.

Basketball is my passion I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That's what's important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.

No one really wants to admit they are lonely and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
