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

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

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

The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.

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

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