I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family passionate relationships dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

My grandfather's family used to own a pasta factory in Naples and they would go door-to-door selling their pasta. So his love of food came from his parents which was then passed down to my mother and then again to me.

No one can find inner peace except by working not in a self- centered way but for the whole human family.

I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years and the American family audience. American jokes less fighting.

I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team too. They'd never seen anything like it.

In every song I write whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.

The Rooneys are very classy. They're very deliberate with their decision-making. Once you're part of that family Steeler nation they treat you with respect. You don't have a lot of rambunctious players running around.

The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building.

I understand what it's like to come with your family and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say 'She's got her daughter she's got her husband.' Yeah but she hasn't got anyone else.

I have had lots of friends who've been affected by Aids and a very good friend of mine Oscar Moore died of Aids and I was with him in his last year quite a bit. And of course he was a man living in a very rich culture with a wealthy family who was able to afford health care.

Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.

You follow any family around you're going to see elation you're going to see disharmony.

I come from an Italian family. One of the greatest and most profound expressions we would ever use in conversations or arguments was a slamming door. The slamming door was our punctuation mark.

Seeing the family is a very important part of my weekend.

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.

You can say I had a severe case of 'Roots' envy. I wanted to be like Alex Haley and I wanted to be able to... do my family tree back to the slave ship and then reverse the Middle Passage as I like to put it and find the tribe or ethnic group that I was from in Africa.

My family and our neighbors and friends thought of Africa and its Africans as extensions of the stereotyped characters that we saw in movies and on television in films such as 'Tarzan' and in programs such as 'Ramar of the Jungle' and 'Sheena Queen of the Jungle.'

The bottom line is that Wanda Sykes has the longest continuously documented family tree of any African-American we have ever researched.

If you share a common ancestor with somebody you're related to them. It doesn't mean that you're going to invite them to the family reunion but it means that you share DNA. I think it's fascinating.

My goal is to get everybody in America to do their family tree.

I have an obligation to try to live as long as I can for my family.

I come from a family of losers and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
