I'm the youngest of 12 children. And although I was the youngest, I tried to organize things in my family. When there were disputes, I tried to mediate.
My father died when I was nine, but I came from a stable family environment, which I think does contribute to being well-behaved.
My family is heavily involved in the Marines and close-combat training, and I was raised doing Japanese sword training, so I've always been of the mentality that you have to be able to defend yourself.
I'm a Christian first. I'm a family guy second. As much as I like coaching, as much as I like basketball, it's third, fourth, or fifth down the line.
The seven deadly sins: Want of money, bad health, bad temper, chastity, family ties, knowing that you know things, and believing in the Christian religion.
I draw from my family and my friends and I feel like that small-town person. The achievements, the materialistic possessions have really become to mean less. They mean nothing.
My entire family has been with the Congress right from the time of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Congress is in our blood and as a loyalist, I am always there for Congress.
I had a great childhood, a very close-knit family. We were all overweight, and we had good times eating together, I imagine.
When I was skating I felt I represented not just my family and the people who helped me make it to that point, but also New York and the country.

I think every time there's a show like 'Modern Family' or 'Will & Grace' that portray gay and lesbian characters and is successful, it just further opens the door.
My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don't need the money, but there's an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There's a love there; we're a band of brothers.
Everything happens for a reason. I'm used to it, I prepare for it. Like I say, at the end of the day, those in charge of their own destiny are going to do what's right for them and their family.
My family couldn't be more supportive. They're worried and they're always in my business, and my mother does send me grad-school applications every now and again.

I love performing, but I never really liked show business. My success is my family. I want to be more successful as a mother.
I come from a family of business people, but I had the idea I wanted to become an artist.
I did not grow up a cinefile. No one in my family was in the film business or even anything close to it.
There wasn't a bigger issue in my campaign than Obamacare. Everyone I talk to, every business, a lot of family farmers, are concerned about how this will affect them.
I think that in any group activity - whether it be business, sports, or family - there has to be leadership or it won't be successful.
