I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.

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

Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

I have a family to support. And I'm not always going to be doing exactly what I want to do.

Some of the most important conversations I've ever had occurred at my family's dinner table.

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

A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide structure, to provide stability.

People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.
