With a houseful of kids you give each other strength.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!

Dreaming is one thing, and working towards the dream is one thing, but working with expectations in mind is very self-defeating.

Every script I've written and every series I've produced have expressed the things I most deeply believe.

Less than 1 percent of the patients treated are alive at the end of five years.

I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

Boy, you gotta be real sick to get this much attention.

I don't mind dying if I have to, but I'm damned if I want to pay for the guarantee. I'm sorry.

I felt my father's presence with me, helping me to commit to paper the feelings I had. I really heard my father speaking to me from the other dimension.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

I believe in God, family, truth between people, the power of love.

I love my work. I've had three successful series, and I want to find out if I can make a fourth.

Now I won't have to worry about the new series making it or not.

I've had a good life. Enough happiness, enough success.

The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think viewers are hungry for shows in which people say something meaningful.

You can die of the cure before you die of the illness.

With a houseful of kids you give each other strength.

Life has been good to me. It's not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.

I believe that there is God in all of us.

I'm going to beat this cancer or die trying.

I think all of us create our own miracles.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

I dont mind dying if I have to but Im damned if I want to pay for the guarantee. Im sorry.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

My kids enjoy the Disney program, Lizzy McGuire.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

If kids like a picture book, they're going to read it at least 50 times. Read anything that often, and even minor imperfections start to feel like gravel in the bed.

Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.

And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

For kids it's natural to be competitive.

I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better.

The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.

Young kids are taking Viagra, ecstasy. They even want instant sex.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

The Professional Children's School, it's for professional kids, so if you wanted to ditch, you could just write, Audition on a note and leave. I didn't really like school all that much.

I mean, obviously, a lot of people know me around the world. Kids know me.

My kids act all the time and it's exactly what I used to do.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.

In Georgia it's a little different because of the East Cobb program. It's such a strong program that we see a lot of kids that come through here on a lot of different teams from across the country that come here to play in tournaments.
