If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.

My health and my family are the core of my being.

When I was working and when I was making substantial amounts of money I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped when it was necessary to withdraw from society in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.

I miss my family and I like being a tourist when I go back.

Outside of being home with my family I prefer a crowd.

I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.

Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefitting you and your family but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make the more of a financial impact you can have.

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

You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.

The family only represents one aspect however important an aspect of a human being's functions and activities. A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

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.

When families are strong and stable so are children - showing higher levels of wellbeing and more positive outcomes. But when things go wrong - either through family breakdown or a damaged parental relationship - the impact on a child's later life can be devastating.

In that I found being able to talk to my family about my feelings praying for strength and realizing that our lives have a deep purpose and the journey of our lives is to find out what that is and express it was the only way I could have gotten through it.

I've been so fortunate in my life that my family has never been jealous of my success. They have shown true love and commitment to me by being supportive. They shared in it.

Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality and physical characteristics warts and all and from belonging to a family that accepts you without question.

My whole damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church.

I have these visions of myself being thirty thirty-five forty having a family.

Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are for the time being separate from the world and have a harmony of aspiration.

For me nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

To us family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

To a certain extent I am taking a leap of faith. I'm adding up the evidence on either side and I'm seeing the evidence of there not being a God is overwhelming compared to the evidence for there being a God.
