3 December 2020 Jeff Foxworthy My wife is so analytical with raising kids, and I am not. My feeling is if they turn out good, then that means I was a good daddy and put a lot of effort into it. If they turn out bad, it means they took after her side of the family.
3 December 2020 David Sedaris I tend to show everything I do to my family, to check they won’t be offended.
3 December 2020 Kevin Spacey I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.
3 December 2020 King Abdullah II It’s a tremendous responsibility to be direct descendants of the prophet Muhammad. This family has had the burden of leadership on its shoulders for 1,400 years. I’m not going to drop the ball on my shift.
3 December 2020 Kyle Chandler I work six months and get three or four with the family. I’ve stopped racing to get to the red light.
3 December 2020 Julia Sweeney Our family was too strange and weird for even Santa Claus to come visit… Santa, who was jolly – but, let’s face it, he was also very judgmental.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.
3 December 2020 James Hetfield I like playing music because it’s a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can’t feed my family with satisfaction.
3 December 2020 Bobby Jindal On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.
3 December 2020 Robert Benchley You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.
3 December 2020 Laura Linney My family is from the South, and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with, like my great-aunts, who had handkerchiefs. There’s something sweet about them.
3 December 2020 Jeff Foxworthy I’ve been to all 50 states, and traveled this whole country, and 90 percent of the people are good folks. The rest of them take after the other side of the family.
3 December 2020 Bob Ehrlich Some of the most important conversations I’ve ever had occurred at my family’s dinner table.
3 December 2020 Aung San Suu Kyi Of course I regret not having been able to spend time with my family.
3 December 2020 Walt Disney We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
3 December 2020 Mario Andretti 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.
3 December 2020 Trevor Dunn I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.
3 December 2020 Ayelet Waldman Personally, I think four is the perfect number of children for our particular family. Four is enough to create the frenzied cacophony that my husband and I find so joyful.
3 December 2020 Susan Sontag A family’s photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
3 December 2020 David Sedaris My family isn’t really all that different from anyone else’s. Well, maybe they’re a bit more entertaining.
3 December 2020 Akhmad Kadyrov I grew up in a very religious family. I could read the Qu’ran easily at the age of five.
3 December 2020 Eliot Spitzer I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong. I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.
3 December 2020 Dave Reichert At a family’s most difficult time, I want to make sure at a minimum that they have the very basic of comforts: the ability to grieve their loss privately and the knowledge that their country is grateful for their loved one’s sacrifice and service.
