Women are in my view natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.

The only people that you really have that I learned are your family because they love you no matter what.

The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock he must leave his family.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

There's a bond among a kitchen staff I think. You spend more time with your chef in the kitchen than you do with your own family.

It is time to return to core values time to get back to basics to self-discipline and respect for the law to consideration for the others to accepting responsibility for yourself and your family - and not shuffling it off on other people and the state.

Over the last couple of years I've really worked toward balancing my life out more having a little bit more time with friends family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside so be it.

I'm thankful to my family friends and fans for all of their support.

Family's first and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families.

In five years' time I'd like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family definitely sooner rather than later. I'd like to have finished my second album too maybe even my third. I'd like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

I love when I go out and I have my hair and makeup done but I also like it when I'm just with the family because that's real.

Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle.

Because I didn't have brothers I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family so I became one of them - but it was not my family. I've always been attracted to temporary families. They tend to be lost characters.

Do it no matter what. If you believe in it it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion an honest passion just do it.

I'm healthy have a loving and adorable family great hunting dogs a gravity defying musical career and most importantly fuzzy-headed idiots hate me.

My kids say if there's any family dinner that doesn't result in somebody crying it's not a good dinner. They cry because it helps relieve them of a guilt or some onerous emotional burden. It's like a family tradition.

There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family not as many separate ones.

My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them 'Hey I'm rich'.

The question of the family now divides our society so deeply that the opposing sides cannot even agree on a definition of the institution they are arguing about.

People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts neglecting children destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing I fear for their safety.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.
