If people in this country think of Africa as a place with kids and flies swarming around their heads, then they won't understand that these people are you and you are them.
People who have witnessed all the years of me playing, they bring their kids and say, 'I used to see this guy when I was fourteen!'
I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!
I get little kids who recognize me from 'Mary Poppins,' and it just delights me because it's our third generation.
I was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.
I think we carry around the idea of being a Kid in the Hall as part of our identity. It's a big part of how we see ourselves now.
Divorce is not easy, but if you genuinely put your kids first, that dictates the civility you should show each other. What example are you otherwise?
I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands. I had posters on my wall. I had Beatles records.
We put stereotypes on ourselves. Everybody does that. But I think it's just a little harder for black kids to just be who they are.
When I was a kid I never knew the difference between a sitcom and a drama. I just knew what my parents were watching and what was making them happy.
We must make sure that there is recess and P.E. class in every school, getting kids outside for 60 minutes, every day.
In my Philly neighborhood, black and white kids hung together without even thinking about it. The spirit of Martin Luther King was alive and well.
As a kid, I remember John Daly bombing it around St. Andrews in 1995 to win the British Open, and people say we are similar in a lot of ways.
When you're a kid with artistic yearnings brought up in the Bronx, you don't get fed up too easily.
I did theater for fun, and I didn't really think it was anything serious. I met a lot of kids through it, and it was pretty social for me.
Kids are incredibly expensive. But it pays off later when they are better educated, bigger, and better-looking than you. And find you incessantly boring and uncool.
With families, your priorities shift. You're not going to be like, 'Let's go out on tour year-round.' I have kids in school. You have to lay things out.
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
We want to teach families how to cook Tuscan wherever you are. How to reuse your leftovers. How to trick the kids into eating whatever you want by putting it into a frittata.
I could always flip between emotions and be available to suddenly do something new. I think it's a part of playing, and you hang onto it when you're a kid.
The kids all literally think I'm Spider-Man, and they ask me how I shoot my webs. It's flattering and crazy, but it's Spider-Man they're in awe of, not Jake Epstein.
