One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.

I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.

It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them.

At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.

The joke in our family is that we can cry reading the phone book.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
