I fell in love with acting, just going to a lot of plays. My parents went to a lot of plays, and I went to a lot of schools that would get plays for kids.
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.
As a kid, I was listening to Aretha Franklin, Etta James and hip-hop as well as music my parents were listening to, like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
My parents listened to a lot of music when I was really little. They used to listen to people like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and I used to be really into that.
I grew up with classical music blasting in my parents' living room and my older brother's practicing saxophone in his room listening to jazz... a beautiful chaos.
My parents were quite strict; we couldn't just listen to whatever music we wanted. It was very much like they monitored what we listened to.
We want people to know that classical music is for everyone. A parent or kid might be terrified of this music, but after they come to us, they'll never be scared of classical music again.
I must admit, even though I'm the product of two Jewish parents, I think the Irish temper got in there somewhere, so I'm going to check Mom's genealogy.
I spend so much time with my parents. My mom and I were joined at the hip for five years. There was not one moment when I wasn't with her.
My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage - everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ.
I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'
Antoine Doinel: [to Rene] After this I can't live with my parents anymore. I've got to disappear.
I'm willing to be different than other parents and go against the mainstream.
Anxiety is the beginning of conscience, which is the parent of the soul but is not compatible with innocence.
I'm always crying. I get a lump in my throat when I see intimacy between parents and their children.
Being gay is not a terrible, tragic disease that requires prevention or treatment chosen for you by your parents.
I always tried to be the perfect little girl. Always tried to have the perfect little manners. Never wanted to displease my parents.
Behind every successful man there is a woman, behind every successful woman there are wonderful parents
I wish my parents had been more strict and made me learn more instruments.
I grew up cursing a lot. It felt natural. My parents told me to stop.
For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.
