Family is at the heart of everything I do.
I came from a big family... a big family of Southerners.
I grew up in L.A., but I was the only one in my family born there.
I was raised in a really terrific, close family, and I've never needed to escape anything or to really let myself go by dancing on tables.
I'm so used to being within 10 minutes of my family.
You gotta understand, there are two different kinds of Asians - the kind who are good at school, obey their parents, go to college - that kind of stuff. And then you have my family - me, my brother, all of my cousins - we're just wretched people.
I keep everything that is most important to me close to me: my family, my bible, my X-Box - just kidding.
I have a sister and her name is Mimsy, like from 'Alice in Wonderland,' so we've got some strange names in our family.
Work is so much fun that it doesn't really seem like downtime when I'm not. But cooking, spending time with my family, friends and dog are what I'm usually doing when I'm not working on something.
It seems to me that unless you or someone very close to you has had a bad head injury, you really can't fathom it. You have no concept of what it is all about. It was so difficult for my whole family, not just me.
Family responsibility, yes, and always. Family bankruptcy due to the cruel rules of government, no.
I work a lot in the summers. My family goes to Maine, where we have a little house. My wife's a writer, too, and we can write for six hours a day and then play with the kids.
My parents showed me by example that they could balance their work and family lives.
My mom is proud of me. I just want to keep working hard so one day I can help my family. I am going to get a big house one day, and we all can stay in it and eat.
I'm not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.
My family are police officers, detectives. My brother Mitch is FBI. Mitch is like that - a stern enforcer.
Growing up in an old-fashioned Bengali Hindu family and going to a convent school run by stern Irish nuns, I was brought up to revere rules. Without rules, there was only anarchy.
My family was very Halloween-friendly, for all of the religion and whatever was going on.
I don't think of myself as a movie star. I'm a movie worker. I come from a railroad family. I come from the corn.
I think 'Lost in Space' certainly shifted from being an ensemble adventure series about a family facing the unknown alien environment to this trio of comedians - Dr. Smith, the Robot, and Will Robinson being the straight guy. It definitely changed it...
A very big passion of mine and that of the people that run our production is finding factories that have fair labor practices and treating them more like partners in our family than people just who are going to produce for us.
