It is terrible when an infant dies, but worse, most people think, when a three-year-old child dies, and worse still when an adolescent does.
Ever since I was a child, I've kept boxes and drawers and pages of things that I liked. I suppose that it constitutes a journal of sorts, but it's not in a ledger or a notebook.
Everyone has to pay their child support, and no matter if you're a Hollywood actor or anyone else, it's always a little bit more than you want to pay.
As is said about most writers: on the one hand all I ever did from when I was a child was read, and I was a loner, which was furthered by my parents and my upbringing.
I think I can allow myself one child - and from then on, I think I would have to adopt. It makes sense not to add to the population problem.
I do remember, as a child, that I always imagined, when I was maybe 6 or 7, my fantasy was that everywhere I went I was being followed by an invisible film crew.
Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.
The future of my child is unknown but I have loved him, supported him, and taught him right from wrong. I will continue to do so...

You're freaked out that you're going to be having a child, and once you're looking after your daughter, it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
I think it's possible to have been a happy child, as I was, and still question and push back with regard to societal conventions.
You say we could lose our lives for this child. I would consider that the greatest honor that could come to my family.
my child, if you want to have a beautiful and happy life... 2 things you need... learn the art of love and practice it with your beloved one.
Perfect heroines, like perfect heroes, aren't relatable, and if you can't put yourself in the protagonist's shoes, not only will they not inspire you, but the book will be pretty boring.
I think that 'City of Heavenly Fire' is definitely a book where all the characters are tested to their limits, and they have to make really significant choices about who they are and who they wanna be.
You put books out into the world, and people form their own visuals and images and attachments to characters; those characters become part of them, and they have their feelings about them.
