For some people, home is family and their mom's house or their girl or whatever, and I have those experiences as well, but the biggest thing for me is Chicago.
My family didn't like me going on the stage, and they didn't much like my being a writer, either.
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
My earliest memory is making peach cobbler with my grandmother. A wonderful memory. I grew up in a restaurant family - B.B.Q. restaurant.
My dream, maybe because of my family, of course, was to be a painter. I chose in one moment the direction of textiles; from textiles I went to fashion.
There's an assumption in many of these cultures that these children are mentally retarded, when in fact they're not at all. I saw how the operation affects the child, as well as the child's family and often the village.
My idea of a holiday was following my family up the hill with my pekinese, who would skip over the heather in front of me.
I think when someone is injured in your family, you want to speak to the individual and you want to hear their voice and you want to make sure they are OK.
Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can't soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.
I definitely do want a family. The idea of being a father and providing the type of love, guidance and support that my parents have given me is definitely down the road.
I didn't ever feel close to my real family. I didn't feel validated; I never felt right because I was always wrong.
The '90s were a time of building for me. Building a life that was sober, drained of harmful, wasteful excess and manufacturing in its place a family of my own.
I remember loving 'Braveheart,' and I still do! It was one of those films my family had on video and we watched over and over again.
College on for sure... I'm scared to say it cause it sounds like a family movie, but if my kid was 7, 8, 9 I would take her to this quickly and gladly!
My only concern is playing. Everything else, my family looks after. In our house, everyone has a job, and my job in our house is to play football.
I think that if you've got a great support system around you, and a great family, and a tight team around you, I think you don't get lost.
I was seen in earlier years by family members and people of authority as somebody wasting his time. I had trouble with the restrictions of conformity. It made me edgy.
My family and I would never receive royalties on the revenue that my materials brought into the church; materials that were created on our own personal time.
Not what you would call a musical family, but my father used to play saxophone, and I discovered many genres of music when I was a child.
I have a very, very good life. I'm grateful for all of my friends, my family and the life that I have, and the possibilities in my future.
My family keeps me pretty grounded. Like if I try anything diva, they're like, 'Oh shut up. Go and do the dishwasher.'
