To me the kitchen is a place of adventure and entirely fun not drudgery. I can't think of anything better to do with family and friends than to be together to create something.

I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.

I come from a massive family and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am so I grew up with children.

I was always on the go and thought I was too busy to develop something like this. I thought at the time that diabetes went along with bad habits but I was the last one in my family to eat junk food.

For me it's about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me is something deeply personal. It's where I came from my family I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me.

I don't believe in being mean to anyone. I'm a really peaceful person. That's something I get from my family.

When I heard the royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William's marriage I knew I had to give them a little something. 'Wet' is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin'.

The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He's fighting for a group ethic of some sort.

Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are they provide something steady reliable and safe in a confusing world.

I don't want to be reincarnated that's for sure. When you've had rewarding experiences in your life - a loving family friends - you don't need additional reassurances that you're going to do something with a new cast of characters. I'd just as soon pass.

I like all the families in the U.K. But what I like about the idea of the royal family is... they seem like they're well educated and there's something admirable about them. And the Queen... she reminds me of my grandma.

My family is from the South and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with like my great-aunts who had handkerchiefs. There's something sweet about them.

My work's never been accepted by my family but it's something I'll always carry on with.

As a novelist I mined my history my family and my memory but in a very specific way. Writing fiction I never made use of experiences immediately as they happened. I needed to let things fester in my memory mature and transmogrify into something meaningful.

We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods but family friends and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.

Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the '90s version of it. Instead of just watching you can do it together... something we don't spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness.

I have a great family by the way but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.

But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important but not as important as you once thought it was.

I just want to be healthy and stay alive and keep my family going and everything and keep my friends going and try to do something so that this world will be peaceful. That is the most ambitious and the most difficult thing but I'm there trying to do it.

There's something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.

I come from a family of losers and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.

As they say in Italy Italians were eating with a knife and fork when the French were still eating each other. The Medici family had to bring their Tuscan cooks up there so they could make something edible.

With a family of six there is always something to make create and do together.

It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.
