It's a big shame that when you have a platform to write about Save the Children, the media interest lies with my moral alignment.
The number of children is not growing any longer in the world. We are still debating peak oil, but we have definitely reached peak child.
One in seven Americans, including more than 8 million children, does not have even basic healthcare coverage.
Children are a wonderful gift. They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.
I think it's hard to write about children and to have an idea of innocence.
I have always loved reading books for children and young adults, particularly when those books are mysteries.
I have three wonderful children. My husband is an absolutely wonderful, perfect husband and a father, most of all.
Being an actor somehow can be a perverse extension of that feeling we generally all have as children, that feeling of wanting to please. Of course you're looking for affirmation, encouragement.
Many children make up, or begin to make up, imaginary languages. I have been at it since I could write.
I feel like I have the fortune of privilege, particularly as it relates to my children.
Children are not simply commodities to be herded into line and trained for the jobs that white people who live in segregated neighborhoods have available.
I think children in general have a very hard time - at least I did - expressing any pain because I didn't want to hurt the people that I loved.

Both young children and old people have a lot of time on their hands. That's probably why they get along so well.
Every time I went to the doctor when I was in my twenties, he repeated the same thing to me: don't wait too long to have children.
People with children will know this: when the childcare is over, it's over on the dot. You immediately have to go into child mode; there's no down time.
Casares: [to Carlos] The devil's backbone. Children who should never have been born.
If you wait until your children are high school seniors to spring it on them that there's not a whole lot of money for school, they won't have too many options.
If there's no inner peace, people can't give it to you. The husband can't give it to you. Your children can't give it to you. You have to give it to you.
I think it's most important for children to understand the concept of respect and manners and also work ethic. I have a responsibility to those who came before me.
I think it's time that we all be there for the children, to learn from the ones who came before us, and to teach our sons and daughters to have respect for themselves. Break the cycle.
