I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.
As a kid, there are some things you looked forward to. You looked forward to Charlie Brown during Halloween and you looked forward to Monday Night Football.
I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.
I've gotten to hang out with Elmo, I'm the Fairy Shoeperson on 'Sesame Street'. So hopefully our kids will get to see and hear me as much as they're able.
One of the problems you have when you read with kids is that once they like something they want you to read it a hundred times.
I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
Instilling a sense of self-discipline and focus when the kids are younger makes it so much easier by the time they get into high school.
I would have liked having children to some degree, but frankly I haven't got the time to take the kids to the goddamn ballgame.
I tried a little of everything when I was little. I tried karate, I tried ballet, I tried piano lessons and singing lessons... I was a pretty normal kid, for the most part.
When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
I like it now when kids stare at me, because it is a way of starting a dialogue. And it is far better than them not looking at you at all. Nothing is worse than not being seen.
I wasn't ecstatic about being pregnant - I wasn't somebody who actively wanted kids. Certainly there were no fantasies about nappy-changing.
The power chords in 'Come Sail Away' were super heavy to me as a kid. Metal? No. Hard rock? At times, for sure.
Twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shift - look out out kid, they keep it all hid
But wasn't there some sort of rule that said parents had to be smarter than their kids? It didn't seem fair.
As a kid I had buck teeth and braces and acne. I hated what I saw. I'm still not comfortable, but that's why I change and adapt the way I look.
Real Texans want their kids to have the best education possible, not the one politicians looking to brag about budget cuts have left us with.
I understand now that God trusts me enough to give me three kids - Marvin Jr., Mikaila and Madisson - who totally depend on me. They know I'm going to be there for them no matter what.
I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff. And, as soon as I could, I wasted a lot of money on cars - BMW's mostly - for myself and my family.
I'm a farm boy. I would rather live in that time when you had to provide for your family. I don't know. I'm a country kid, so I don't like modern technology.
I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
