My parents have been married for 42 years. Their marriage has been - from what I can see - a happy one.
My parents were born abroad. I was born in France, but I feel comfortable everywhere - I don't see the borders.
I was a complete tomboy. I loved wandering out in storms or walking on the beaches in the dark. It was a very free upbringing, and I'm grateful to my parents for that.
Anybody who has children and children who are well feels a sense of responsibility towards parents and kids and families that are struggling and that aren't well.
Spanking a child is about the parent not the child. The child will learn more from positive correction than physical manipulation.

Each and every one of us who is still lucky enough to have our parents has a duty to them. We do owe them.
To your parents you are still that innocent baby, and sometimes even you will need your father's hand and your mother's lap.
Luckily, thanks to the way my parents taught me, I think I can handle the fame in the right manner.
The generation that migrated to the West in the 1970s or 1960s has now lived more in the West than India, and India has changed so much. My parents fall into that category.
When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.
Now that I'm a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.
It's very hard for our parents who see us enter a world that they can't imagine.
We were very kooky and inventive, and it didn't take long for my parents to realize we should all be auditioning for things.
My father was the president of the Hearst Corporation, and my parents were close friends of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and they all had pugs.
Caring about the welfare of children and shaming parents are mutually exclusive endeavors.
