As kids, my mom would always let us help bake, and if we behaved, we got to lick the beaters clean.
One of my kids was born in 1968. There were going to be political difficulties, but they were never going to have that level of hatred and contempt that my brothers and my sister and myself were exposed to.
My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.
Crime is a very hard genre to feminise. If you have a female protagonist she is going to be looking after her mum when she gets older; she is going to be worried about her brother and sister; she will be making a living while bringing up kids.
I get paid for what most kids get punished for.
Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it.
Good jobs look a lot like kids playing and adults working.
Whatever our bedtime was as kids, we could stay up an extra half hour if we were reading. My parents didn't care as long as I was under the spell of a Stephen King or a Douglas Adams. Now I read in bed. I read at work. I read standing in line. It's like, 'Hello, my name is Nathan and I am a reader.'
I've deliberately tried to calm myself down because eventually I want to be a good role model to my kids.
Proper school nutrition must be complemented by activities outside of the cafeteria. The decisions parents make to keep their kids healthy are critical in fighting this battle on the home front.
When all the other kids were playing sports after school, I wanted to sing and dance and act.
Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.
I would've loved to have children and I'm really good with kids, but I just didn't want to commit to anything when I had cancer. I didn't want to plan for the future.
Well, I love having kids. But I have the advantage of having a lot of help, a real hands-on husband and small children whom I can easily manipulate.
My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.
As a family comedian, it is so wonderful seeing everyone from kids through to grandparents being entertained by you.
I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
Why do I find the fantasy - husband, family, kids - exhausting instead of alluring? Is there something wrong with me? Do I have a life?
I just came from Aspen, Colorado and they had fifteen kids I played for and they all played horns.
I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.
Throughout Yorkshire's history, the committee had not been known for its visionary approach. They just assumed that because Yorkshire had been fantastic in the past, and the county was full of kids wanting to play cricket, everything would be okay.
I won't go into detail but this animated one, the story line is very cool and the kids seem to love it.
Oakland, by far, is really gorgeous; it still has these pockets that are really dangerous. Certain things are kind of normal. I think kids out there can be tested in a way where his right of passage ties into a bit of violence and how that has become these markers in masculinity and you being kind of validated after having to pass through things.
The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husband is away filming. I put the kids to bed and have an hour and a half in the evening for myself.
Kids aren't growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.
We are shaping young kids to be leaders in their communities and also to be healthier.
My dad was a produce man. He worked in grocery stores for 35 years. My mom just babysat kids and raised us. I have four sisters and one brother. I'm the baby.
I was one of six kids in a single-parent household.
Getting kids moving is a key factor in tackling obesity and health problems among the young.
Right after 9/11 there was a magazine with a cover of kids, mostly 12-14 year-olds, who were being trained for military combat. I thought that this had just gone too far.
Sometimes I'm asked by kids why I condemn marijuana when I haven't tried it. The greatest obstetricians in the world have never been pregnant.
I'm generally happy, although my kids and wife may sometimes argue with that.
Kids don't come with an instruction manual. So if you're gonna make mistakes, at least make them your own way.
I was one of those kids who had never seen an indie film before I got to college. If it wasn't a big, huge tentpole movie, or if it wasn't on the radio, I hadn't experienced it.
But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.
I definitely got into a lot of fights when I was a kid. I never understood it. I was one of those quiet kids. I never picked with no one.
