If we keep on ignoring and leaving children to their own devices at home they become latchkey kids and trust me the consequences of that are not good.

And I believe that public broadcasting has an important trust with the American people it's an intimate medium of television and that we can do reading and language development for young children without getting into human sexuality.

I teach for the Book Trust which promotes reading and writing with children.

I trust the time is coming when the occupation of an instructor to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment.

I wish my parents hadn't made me feel that how I looked was linked to how much they loved me. But I do also see how hard it must be to see your child pile on the pounds and trust they'll find their own way back to a healthy weight.

As an alcoholic you have no appreciation for your wife or your children's feelings but I'm making up for that now. I'm winning my children's trust back.

To get a child's trust - you may know or not - is a very hard thing to do. They're so used to not believing adults - because adults tell tales and lies all the time.

I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us helpless like children a trust that is put upon us.

Life is a gift given in trust - like a child.

If I had children I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.

When you're a kid I think you want to be a film star. And I'm not as enamoured with that any more. The reality of that life is a lot of travel and a lot of being away which is impractical because I have four children so I don't want to be away that much not the other side of the world away.

Prison service vans that travel 90 miles to take a prisoner 90 yards paedophiles free to leer at children in the very parks where they have committed horrific crimes.

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

I travel all the time and I have two small children.

I've three children three grandchildren I work I travel and I'm very happily married. I'm very satisfied and happy with my life and there really isn't anything I want.

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

To bring up a child in the way he should go travel that way yourself once in a while.

In America there are two classes of travel - first class and with children.

Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don't know one child with a full time job and children.

At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.

Yet when child sex offenders are brought to justice and serve time for their offenses they are often released into unsuspecting communities and left free to resume their sexual attacks.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas for next summer for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

Concepts like individuals have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood.

Perfection is the child of time.
