I like friends who are honest and loyal. They also shouldn't be afraid to be a kid. I like having fun.
Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.
I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.
I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.
When I was a kid I was very interested in the idea of the will, finding out what you're capable of. I liked those kind of challenges.
Enjoy the little fun things - like taking your kids to school - before they're all grown up.
I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.
I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that's what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
Any other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner - that's way harder than what I have to do.

I am very different as a parent to new kids. My work changed from being rooted in the sky to being rooted in the earth.
The idea that you have a vision of what you're supposed to be, or going to be, or where your kids are going to be - and that that doesn't work out - is always going to be something that's going to affect people and move people.
You work with stand-up comedians or you work with somebody in theater, you work with somebody from 'Star Search' or 'Survivor' or a kid, it constantly changes how you play with people.

I had done a lot of reading, relative for a kid, about World War Two, and I thought about Chamberlain a lot.
I know you kids are angry, because the world isn't fair. Well, get over it, because it's never going to be fair. The white boys have all the money and all the power and that's the way it is. And they aren't going to give it up - to you or to me. And ...
