I have a great relationship with everyone in my family, but I'm closer to my brothers than anyone else because they give me a lot of guidance.
Being with my family is very important to me, and touring is very important to me, too, because it's who I am. It's what I do.
I have a really good family. I'm lucky to have people who support me and love me in my life.
My family pleaded with me to forget literature and do something sensible, such as find some sort of useful work.
You have to be funny about it and honest about it. You can't leave yourself out of that mix. You have to be honest enough to say, I'm that messed-up one in the family.
The family you were raised in, the time period you were born in, and the part of the country you're in absolutely shape your view on sex, which shapes a huge part of anybody's personality.
Chicago is fun. We've spent a lot of time there, about 15 years. My wife's parents and family live in Chicago, so that's a big selling point.
If you believe you can make a difference, then you will make a difference. Believe in yourself, your family and your community and you will win.
Just because we want our favorite team to win does not mean there's any lack of toughness when a player chooses family first.
And I think one of the tasks that I always feel is how to get that vision out of them. Not exactly what they want, but what they want to accomplish for themselves or their community or their family.
No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?
I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
I want a family someday and I know that I have to let love in to create that and I think there is someone out there for me, but I'm not on some crazy hunt for that right now.
I knew I could never match my father as a violinist, and there were already four generations of outstanding cellists in the family.
And whether it is equal pay, health care, Social Security, or family leave, this Congress has refused to address issues critical to hard-working American women.
Family is very important to me because that is the footprint we perpetuate. That is, the ripple in the water when the rock first impacts the pool, and it is those waves, that energy that one produces, that determines our direction.
I was pretty locked up emotionally as a kid - my family situation was tumultuous. But I was extroverted. So when I was in pain, I would tell jokes instead of expressing myself.
The love of the family, the love of one person can heal. It heals the scars left by a larger society. A massive, powerful society.
I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.
I know there's more to life than making lots of money and being successful and even getting married and having a family.
