3 December 2020 Heidi Klum Sure, climbing Mount Everest would be cool, but that’s something I would now like to do as a family. Big experiences like that I don’t want to have on my own anymore. I want to share them.
3 December 2020 Henry Fonda My whole damn family was nice. I don’t think I’ve imagined it. It’s true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church.
3 December 2020 Russell Crowe Some of the things you read you get an immediate reaction to so I’ve stopped reading things now. I do worry about my family though. Some people do try some nasty things to get at them and try and get a reaction from them.
3 December 2020 John Sculley We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
3 December 2020 LaToya Jackson People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image. But what people have to understand is writing that book was very healing for me.

3 December 2020 Henry Louis Gates The bottom line is that Wanda Sykes has the longest continuously documented family tree of any African-American we have ever researched.
3 December 2020 Giada De Laurentiis My family truly believes they are better cooks than I am. They see me as Giada, not as a celebrity chef. To them I’m just me – their granddaughter, niece, etc., and they’re older and wiser. I like that because it keeps you grounded.
3 December 2020 John le Carre You have no idea how humiliating it was, as a boy, to suddenly have all your clothes, your toys, snatched by the bailiff. I mean we were a middle-class family, it’s not as if it was happening up and down the street. It made me ashamed, I felt dirty.
3 December 2020 LeBron James Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That’s what’s important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.
3 December 2020 Nicholas Sparks My wife, my family, my friends – they’ve all taught me things about love and what that emotion really means. In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.

3 December 2020 Erma Bombeck Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It’s too controversial.
3 December 2020 Aung San Suu Kyi One wants to be together with one’s family. That’s what families are about.

3 December 2020 Sophia Bush Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it’s like you don’t ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it’s kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are.
3 December 2020 Stephen King When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‘Why god? Why me?’ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‘There’s just something about you that pisses me off.’
3 December 2020 Bradley Cooper I grew up in a very old-fashioned Roman Catholic, Italian-Irish family in Philly.
3 December 2020 Leo Tolstoy All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
