The most important thing in the world is family and love.

Family life itself, that safest, most traditional, most approved of female choices, is not a sanctuary: It is, perpetually, a dangerous place.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

When I remember my family, I always remember their backs. They were always indignantly leaving places.

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

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

I have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.

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 family really does come first. It always did and always will.
