It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family and yes part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am. But if they never do it's OK.

Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year we had a wonderful relationship.

My dad's gay experiences really had a very positive influence on me and my straight relationships - how to better accept all the weirdness and ambiguity and ups and downs and paradoxes. I knew from the beginning I was writing about love.

We busted a lot of family secrets with this. But to make a long story short my parents relationship was built heavily on security issues for my Mom and when my Dad couldn't provide security the relationship unraveled.

My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.

I had lost relationships with my dad my brother and sister and I was just like you know what this is definitely the time to just get it together and so that's what I did.

It's a complex relationship when your dad happened to be president and you are president and then you have all the amateur psychology that goes on when people try to speculate about motivations.

I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.

There are absolutely no problems between me my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum but my relationship with my dad is just fine.

My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes baby.

My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him.

I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

You must have love as the core it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.

Traits like humility courage and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.

You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

Courage means to keep working a relationship to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems and to stay focused during stressful periods.

I know some actors feel classes are not cool or they create negative public relations but I continue to crave the story just beyond my reach. To grasp that brass ring I need to continue to fine-tune my talents.

I think it can be fun to be single and date-like when you don't want a relationship. Or when you've just gotten out of a relationship and after get over the initial shock your thinking Hey it's kind of cool being single.

I really love rap music. I grew up in the '80s and '90s with Public Enemy N.W.A. LL Cool J - I'm a hip-hop encyclopedia. But I got kind of frustrated with the chauvinistic side of rap music the one that makes it hard to write songs about love and relationships.

I haven't ever really relied on relationships with guys. They come around and it's cool but it's never been a big thing. I guess I've just been really distracted by work.

We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.

It is difficult to imagine how any behavior in the presence of another person can avoid being a communication of one's own view of the nature of one's relationship with that person and how it can fail to influence that person.

These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users.

Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously productively and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work it's almost just as fascinating.
