Most kids will not volunteer to eat veggies. At times you must step up to the plate and enforce the rule of authority as a parent.

Any mother with half a skull knows that when Daddy's little boy becomes Mommy's little boy, the kid is so wet he's treading water.

It's a different story because guess what, the kid is only 28 years old, 28. He's not his dad, not his grandpa. He's 28 years old.

Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen; the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.

~My children are my life ... It's not like I don't have my own wants and and dreams anymore - it's just that the kids come first.~

When I was a kid, I had a couple of really good friends, like some really good best friends, but I was really shy other than that.

We got on American Bandstand, where kids would dance to a record and then rate it. We called ourselves Tom and Jerry. I was Jerry.

I love the idea of having a kid who says, 'Yeah, of course I knew about Billie Holiday and Johnny Cash when I was nine years old.'

'Kane and Abel' is the best popular fiction of all time. As a kid, I wanted to be prime minister when I read 'First Among Equals.'

I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.

I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow.

America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest, saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training.

It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.

My kids have grown up knowing nothing other than me being gone all the time and playing in golf tournaments. That's what they know.

One advantage to having a kid on the spectrum: they tend to be rule followers. Socially, things are harder for them than most kids.

I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I'd let them watch something like 'Full House' that I think would make them stupid.

Kids end up seeing my movies anyway but some of the mothers get mad at me so I figured I'd make one that I can't get yelled at for.

Don't sing a song you can't carry off, like some 16-year-old kid singing 'My Way'. That song's not for you. You haven't lived that.

I was a farm kid from the plains of South Venezuela, from a very poor family. I grew up in a palm tree house with an earthen floor.

I'd like to have a kid, but I'd probably get a Frank Sinatra Jr. instead of a Gilbert Gottfried Jr. I'd totally screw up like that.

Kids raised to be pampered and spoiled don't really end up being good leaders. Leaders need to be independent minded and confident.

I was fed by the music I listened to as a kid. Hip-hop fed me psychologically, spiritually, politically. I learned from that music.

I think the patterns are set very early when the kids are young. But at the same time, there are some flavors kids just don't like.

Love, acceptance, friends, two kids that I love. I have to take care of myself for them. I've also been a vegetarian for two years.

I love my son. I love my kids, my family. Like I said after I took the misdemeanor plea, I take full responsibility for my actions.

I think kids ought to travel. I think it's very good to carry kids around. It's good for them. Of course it's tough on the parents.

Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.

My favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatoes. I love Thanksgiving, it's just my favorite. I can have Thanksgiving all year round.

When I was a little kid I wanted to be Face. I thought, cos I had blond hair and he did too, that when I grew up I'd look like him.

I think about music in the way that I heard music as a kid - like, Oh my god, there's this weird rubbery ball of undulating things.

Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don't want to go to PTA meetings.

Church was a requirement, there was no choice in the matter, so was vacation bible school. Gospel has been in me since I was a kid.

Books are easy to find and easy to buy. A paperback these days only costs six or seven dollars. You can borrow that from your kids!

I want to live forever, and I know I won't. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only afraid of one thing: not being able to raise my kids.

The Canadian kid who wants to grow up to be Prime Minister isn't thinking big, he is setting a limit to his ambitions rather early.

I make shoes for white suburban kids, not the poor black kids. That would be like opening a restaurant for people without stomachs.

As a kid, I loved Godot because of the poetry and the humor and the strangeness, but then as you get older, its much more resonant.

First off, do everything they can to give their kids the opportunities to play sports; asthma is not a deterrent to playing sports.

I often feel very guilty because of the time that I spend outside of my home and the little time that sometimes I have for my kids.

That's what I try to do, my wife and I, we try to, not shelter them [kids], but still not contribute to the delinquency of a minor.

Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn't eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower!

Everybody around the world wants to send their kids to our universities. But nobody wants to send their kids here to public school.

For example, I noticed that every single kid in the high school in 'The Death-Ray' is based on somebody I went to high school with.

I never fit in with my peer group. I never hung out with kids my age - I always wanted to hang out with my mom and her girlfriends.

I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can't claim to be like a comic book geek.

My favorite thing about being a father is just seeing my kids grow and do some of the same things that I did when I was a kid, man.

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

I'm 23 but I got a brain like I'm 32 man, switched the numbers around. Smart kid too, straight-A student, I was just a class clown.

You know, I'm really bad on the computer. I'm really lame, man. I read and hang out with my kids. I've turned into a five year old.
