As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.

All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss... That's the trade-off. But I'll take it all.

My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.

Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

It takes a lot of work to put together a marriage, to put together a family and a home.

When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.
