I have three older brothers, and each one of them has chosen one of my parents' education. Two of them are actors, and the third is a doctor as my mother is.
My parents told me that education was the path to success - and they showed me, taking me to Head Start while they were pursuing their own college degrees.
Education begins at home and I applaud the parents who recognize that they - not someone else - must take responsibility to assure that their children are well educated.
A dog is the greatest gift a parent can give a child. OK, a good education, then a dog.
Parents should conduct their arguments in quiet, respectful tones, but in a foreign language. You'd be surprised what an inducement that is to the education of children.
Going to school at home saved my life as far as education went. My parents were able to give me the attention I needed.
Some parents do not send their children to school because they don't know its importance at all.
Entire families are attending 'Son of God' together and sharing it with their own kids. Parents are using the film as a conversation starter to help bring the story of Jesus to life for their children.
Both my parents were working in politics when I was growing up, so going on stage was not that great a leap.
I've got a life that really matters to me, and that's because of the way I was raised. My ethics are high because my parents did a great job.
The great medical facilities are a relief for the parents, too, who don't have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time.
When I talk to teachers, parents, superintendents, my colleagues, everyone wants to fix No Child Left behind. There is great dissatisfaction with No Child Left Behind.
To be a winner of that, and to fall in the long line of traditional great backs at USC, to have your name in perpetuity, the fact that your parents are like icons... that's the greatest thing.
I grew up as an only child. My parents weren't great conversationalists. We had a quiet house. I'm not very verbal.
From a child's point of view, there is rarely a great time for parents to separate, even if there has been a lot of commotion and fighting.
I had a simple goal in life: to be true to my parents and our country as an honorable son, a caring brother, and a good citizen.
My approach to parenting is that everything is open - everything. I'm not very good at covert, or subtle, and I've had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit.
I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky. They said, 'You're a woman; enjoy yourself and believe that you can do things.'
I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.
One of my school friends' parents owned a minigolf course, and a bunch of us kids would play there all day in the summer. Two-under deuces was a good score.
It really hit home that my parents felt as though they didn't have to worry anymore. They realized if you could win an Oscar, that was a good sign.
