By adversity are wrought the greatest works of admiration and all the fair examples of renown out of distress and misery are grown.

Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.

My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards selling out concert dates selling more albums than anyone else. Now my goals are to see my grandchildren grown live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.

Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family but once the sisters are grown it becomes the strongest relationship.

It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt to get to the point of having nothing for me to finally realize Hey what are you fighting with this for? Until then I hadn't claimed my faith as my own I had just grown up with it.

Faith is reason grown courageous.

Games have grown and developed from this limited in-the-box experience to something that's everywhere now. Interactive content is all around us networked ready. This is something I've been hoping for throughout my career.

I'd like to believe an accumulation of experience has made me a sort of a grown-up person so I can have judgment and taste and whatever.

As I've grown - dare I say it - older I had hopes of indulging my dreams of being a sailor.

You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.

My dad was a baggage handler at Heathrow and careful with money. He worked hard and had three jobs when I was young. I wish I'd inherited his care for money. Sadly I've grown up to be rather scatty when it comes to finances.

We all grew up our grandmothers and mothers had about three channels to watch so we watched those soaps and now a generation has grown up with the Internet and computers and video games.

I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five thirty years earlier I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.

Young people in the business have grown up and made the wrong decisions or bad decisions and haven't been good role models. To be someone that people look up to is important to me.

That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story.

Even when I was a kid I had a good thing with kids. To this day if I go to a birthday party with one of my kids I swear to you I am so much happier hanging out with my kids and their friends than talking to the grown-ups.

Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years scold them. By the time they turn sixteen treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

Sometimes I think I might not have written 'The Age of Miracles' if I hadn't grown up in California if I hadn't been exposed to its very particular blend of beauty and disaster of danger and denial.

Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still over the past decade its audience has hugely grown and that's irked those outside the art world who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.

It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.

It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene it works.

No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.

I'm a grown woman and sometimes I might be a little fat you know? Am I alone there? Not really.
