My parents did great and provided well, and gave all their kids personal, moral, ethical values, not a belief that we were entitled to something.
Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.
Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery.
When I started out as a little kid, I didn't say 'I just want to run football.' I wanted to be a great athlete.
There were scenes that just for length purposes, and knowing that the attention span of kids is not great, don't make it much longer than about 90 minutes.
I played piano for about two years when I was a kid. I didn't play long enough to be really great.
If we can get kids talking about conservation and doing it, they can have a great influence on their parents by lecturing them and pointing the finger.
I always thought what made 'Beetlejuice' look so great was because it looked like some genius kid made it in his basement.
With acting, you see some of the kids are literally just off the street, untrained, and they are great. And others are off the street, untrained, and kind of horrible.
I love kids, and I'm great with them, but I also love being able to give them back.
I saw this DJ playing music and saying things to the kids. They would answer him back, and I say, 'That's a great idea.'
When moms and dads put their kids in acting class, good luck. Because you're just filling them with stuff they don't need yet.
I was going to middle school in Berkley, and I did not fit in at all. Like a lot of kids, I found theater to be a good place for me.
A good teacher who can take the zero pay and help kids develop physically, emotionally, socially, is literally an angel.
If we keep on ignoring and leaving children to their own devices at home, they become latchkey kids, and trust me, the consequences of that are not good.
I hate when you go into a nice restaurant - someplace where you're going to spend good money - and there are kids in there crying.
I didn't have a good childhood because I never could get along with other kids. I was the child that sat in the corner eating lunch by herself.
I was a careless Protestant, my wife was a good Catholic, and we had six kids in seven years and I'd endorse that to everyone.
When I was a kid, I needed to sing because it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel good, period.
I'd love them to have adorable little American accents, but I do want to bring my kids up in Australia; it's such a good lifestyle.
It's no longer good enough for us to tell kids who are different that it's gonna get better. We have to make it better now.
