I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.
The water cooler conversation in every job I've had is sports, it's what did you do this weekend, it's 'How are your parents doing?'
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
I think self-reliance and self-responsibility and self-accountability will help you as a parent, a teacher, as a citizen as a friend.
My parents are desperate, they keep saying: 'Please stop doing these angsty roles; make it easier for us.' So, yeah, I'd love to do some comedy.
I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.
My parents have had a love marriage, so I have made it pretty clear to them that I, too, will have a love marriage.
It's like my parents' musical tastes are the mother and father of my music. It's their fault for making me so emotional and in tune with my emotions!
You have to give kids something to rebel against. You can't like their music - you have to call it noise. It's incumbent on a parent.
I was lucky enough to have parents who started me on music very early, but most kids don't get that kind of exposure.
I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.
Forgiving the men who killed my parents and brother was a process, a journey into deeper and deeper prayer.
My parents had a wonderful marriage, but it was a very dependent relationship. My mother was entirely dependent on my father because that's how it was in those days.
My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.
My parents used to rent old movies - my whole childhood is in black and white - and it was my dream to make films.
I was a very un-literary child, which might reassure parents with kids who don't read.
My parents were very supportive. They went to every show. And they never told me not to do what I was doing.
To lose your last remaining parent is the toughest thing. It is a very lonely thing.
My parents taught me to believe that through the creative act, we're able to transcend and give a response to desecration.
My parents were both Spanish-speakers and they used to speak to me and my siblings in Spanish and we'd answer them in English.
Whenever I have a play or opening or anything going on in my career, my parents always come up and see it.
