I would go visit my mom on Sundays and my brother was working on stuff. I'd go in there and sing a little melody then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.

Our parents are obviously proud but they're still trying to get used to the fact that we're in a band. I have a feeling my mom would actually like One Direction if I wasn't in it!

I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.

My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them.

My mom is not trying to live vicariously through me.

Sunscreen is my number 1 2 3 4 and 5 tip. I'm a fanatic partially because I live in L.A. and have fair skin and freckles and partially because of my kids. My mom always made me wear sunscreen and I'm trying to be that mom for them.

There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You're embarrassed by your parents and you're trying to find your independance because deep inside you are so dependent on your mom.

I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.

My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said 'Mom they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'

I make a lot of mistakes too and I'm constantly re-evaluating how I'm doing things and trying to be better every day whether it's as a mom or taking care of myself.

I feel like a good mom. I'm a strong woman now... Don't look down on me. Pray for me because I'm trying.

You know when you're young and you see a play in high school and the guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around.

Men do not fail they give up trying.

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.

If I'm pushed I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly that's all.

The activists will not stop in trying to impose their extreme views on the rest of us and they have now plotted out a state-by-state strategy to increase the number of judicial decisions redefining marriage without the voice of the people being heard.

They make Spy Kids they make Scream they make A Scary Movie. This doesn't do that so it could be a very bad marriage. I'm trying to keep this potential nightmare quiet because we're just finishing editing.

It's very trying on a marriage when you're doing a one hour show week after week after week. You don't have enough time for people that maybe you should have top priority.

Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood the best in a marriage the kind of people we are trying to become.

Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It's the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws.

I believe in the institution of marriage and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.

The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin.

A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You're always looking for somebody to love you be accepted and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration I don't think you can go wrong.
