You never know what your parents are going to say when you tell them you're getting married - especially when it's with someone they haven't met yet.
I think that discipline is so much of an important part of being a parent. Because it's very, very important to teach your children to take responsibility for their actions.
I don't like kissing on camera. It's bad enough to be caught kissing by your parents. But when you have a whole crew watching you, it's a little weird.
I don't have siblings, which is probably the biggest reason why my parents were able to give the attention to my career that they did.
It blows me away that my parents, they really weren't much into theater, but they recognized that in me. When I think about the things they did to support that, I'm blown away.
My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.
That children shall be compelled to receive religious instruction which is in antagonism to the wishes of their parents, is what no man with say sense of justice would suggest.
My parents weren't stereotypical and pressuring me to go to college. They mentioned it a lot and constantly, but it wasn't a do or die thing, like, 'You have to do this or you're done.'
Both my parents are English and I was born in West Africa, and I moved around as a kid, lived in Bristol, lived in Buckinghamshire and Surrey as a kid, and then moved when I was 16.
My parents were very supportive of me and my artistic endeavours. My father and mother came to every school play I ever did.
I think I'm an okay parent, but I'd put myself in the category of a musician-who-happened-to-become-a-father. I'm definitely not a father-who-happened-to-be-a-musician.
I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.
I think our job as parents is to give our kids roots to grow and wings to fly. Deborah Norville
And as she held me, I suddenly realized that my lifelong search for love and acceptance had finally ended in the arms of a foster parent.
I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
I was raised by parents who really admired the religious leaders of the left, as many 60s and 70s liberals did.
I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?'
Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important.
Some spiritually alert parents hold early-morning devotionals with their families in their homes. They have a hymn, prayer, and then read and discuss the Book of Mormon.
When parents neglect their responsibility to correct and discipline their children society suffers. The results are crimes and harm committed against others.
