• I don't take as much crap as I used to. You know, once you give birth, once you have kids, you realize what's important in life, and you realize it's really not difficult to be a good person. And so when people aren't good around me, I tend to move away from that.
  Pam Anderson Quotes
• I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!…I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.
  Jennifer Aniston Quotes
• I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist or I'd draw a ram's head really messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect spiderman.
  Jean Michel Basquiat Quotes
• I adore children. I love the fact that our children are part of both of us, it's one of the most amazing things ever.
  David Beckham Quotes
• When you do have kids you do grow up. People did say that to me. I have just started realising it now it changes the world - having children.
  David Beckham Quotes
• During the past few months, I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. The simple truth is that I am very happily married, have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing that any third party can do to change these facts.
  David Beckham Quotes
• Japanese kids reinvent themselves every summer, and in a way, Virgin does, too. Any successful business has to, who has been coming to Japan since the early '70s. My first trip really opened my eyes. I was given a plate of raw fish and the only thing I got up enough courage to eat was the wasabi.
  Richard Branson Quotes
• I get about 60-70 letters a day from staff. As a leader, my main job is to motivate them so they can go home and be proud of their work. I want to hear from staff on the front line, so to speak. My notebook is never far away.
  Richard Branson Quotes
• I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other - and we still are. My parents adored each other, and in my childhood there was barely a cross word between them.
  Richard Branson Quotes
• There are instances of millionaires' sons unspoiled by wealth, who, being rich, still perform great services in the community. Such are the very salt of the earth, as valuable as, unfortunately, they are rare; still it is not the exception, but the rule, that men must regard, and, looking at the usual result of enormous sums conferred upon legatees, the thoughtful man must shortly say, "I would as soon leave to my son a curse as the almighty dollar," and admit to himself that it is not the welfare of the children, but family pride, which inspires these enormous legacies.
  Andrew Carnegie Quotes
• When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.
  Cindy Crawford Quotes
• I've pretty much behaved like a knucklehead my entire life. It was probably more adorable when I was a child… as an adult I'm sure it's less attractive.
  Cameron Diaz Quotes
• I want to have kids in the next two or three years. I just haven't found the right person. I can't wait to have a little daughter and dress her up.
  Paris Hilton Quotes
• I just know our [with Paris Latsis, her fiance] kids and grandkids are going to watch "House of Wax".
  Paris Hilton Quotes
• I think it's enhanced every single part of my life. It really, really reminds you of what's important and what brings you great joy. ... I never really knew very many babies before. I had hardly ever spent any time with them. And I just love him. It's heaven.
  Elizabeth Hurley Quotes
• It's quite strange. I sometimes have even four-year-old boys literally flinging themselves at me like little Exocet missiles when I'm in restaurants. They're cute and I like them but it's weird though.
  Elizabeth Hurley Quotes
• It's all to do with Austin Powers. They want me in that silver mini skirt. It's very much a fabulous kids' movie. At a private screening the children adored it. The sillier you are, the more you fall over, the more they love you.
  Elizabeth Hurley Quotes
• I want my son to see the balance of the world and have compassion so he can do good things for his country when he grows up.
  Angelina Jolie Quotes
• My son is Asian and I do travel lots to Asia and Africa and all parts of Europe so I feel closer to all of that living in England, and that he'll have a better chance at being more international growing up there.
  Angelina Jolie Quotes
• The interesting thing for me is that everybody felt that I was really wild when i was unbalanced and desperate to communicate something and didn't have a sense of purpose. But I've never been so crazy and wild as I am with my son or as I am now.
  Angelina Jolie Quotes
• I'd like a kid from every continent!
  Angelina Jolie Quotes
• All of a sudden I had a baby, because it went really quick. It was like, 'Oh! I have a baby!' So, it's great. I'm just having a great time with my children. They're here in New York with me.
  Catherine Zeta-Jones Quotes
• Because I have a passion for the play. My father was a chess teacher, and I learned the play of him as a small child. Occasionally I made another career; but now I have again the possibility of maintaining the passion of my early youth days.
  Carmen Kass Quotes
• If one day I have a daughter and my daughter wants to be a model, I would never let her! But then, if she wants to, what can I do? But definitely not until she's 18 years old. You know, every work has the bad side, and people will be mean to you, and when you're young, you don't know how to defend yourself.
  Adriana Lima Quotes
• When I see myself on a lot of magazine covers now, in one way I'm very proud and flattered, and in another sense I'm laughing back at all those people who were mean to me when I was getting teased as a weird-looking kid. It's a nice form of poetic justice.
  Eva Longoria Quotes
• On Clark Gable: In the kissing scenes, I kissed him with real affection. I didn’t want to go to bed with him, but I wanted him to know how much I liked and appreciated him. He told me he had been a hunter for a long time, but he had decided not to kill animals. He said if he had children, he would teach them to hunt with a camera instead of a gun.
  Marilyn Monroe Quotes
• I said I would get better with each baby, and I have.
  Demi Moore Quotes
• It's never easy to be the son of a great man.
  James Packer Quotes
• We have recognized that the world is changing. How your children are behaving, how their friends are behaving. What they consume and what they watch.
  James Packer Quotes
• My first drawings could never have been shown at an exhibition of children’s drawings. I lacked the clumsiness of a child, his naivety.
  Pablo Picasso Quotes
• But I hope to maintain my credibility after I stop playing. Because, yes of course, now I play and I score goals and children all over are mad about me. Not just poor children - all children. We can make them really happy by the way we play, though I have to say that it's the poor ones that I think of most, the ones who can't come and watch the games at the stadium. We mean so much to them. That's why I'm so committed to this work. Later, after you've stopped playing, it's harder to have the same impact. But I will give it a go. I want to continue doing this kind of work for ever.
  Cristiano Ronaldo Quotes
• I was something of a leader in my neighborhood. Much the way it is today, people either liked me a lot, or they didn't like me at all. In my own crowd I was very well liked and I tended to be the kid others followed.
  Donald Trump Quotes
• I´ve started to notice in the last few months that the roles available to women in their thirties suddenly seem a lot better than the ones for women in their mid- to late-twenties. Which makes sense. Women have got more to say at this point in their lives. They´ve had a decade of getting to know themselves, of making mistakes, reflecting back to failed relationships, having children, all those things, and as a result, the characters, the roles, become much more interesting, more dynamic.
  Naomi Watts Quotes
• Maybe I was lacking some kind of support and needed to be accepted or appreciated. My father had not only left the family, but he'd died, so perhaps as a child I felt doubly abandoned.
  Naomi Watts Quotes
• Don’t just show pictures of starving children. That’s not all there is. I saw people struggling to survive and making it. I saw families holding together. I saw kindness and beauty, not just bombing and death. I heard beautiful stories, but that’s not what the media shows us. I want to go back live there again some day. It’s a beautiful country and it has an amazing culture and history. If you are going to tell a story, tell the whole story.
  Alek Wek Quotes
• In my country, families are raised as though they are one. Although I am from the Dinka tribe, my parents didn’t raise us as the Dinka tribe. They raised us as the Wek family, in the way they believed their children should grow up. So when you leave, the first thing you think is the ones you left behind. It’s natural to help them in any way you can. I found a way to support myself rather than asking my Mum to give me money. I would work before school and send money back to pay for their rent and food.
  Alek Wek Quotes
• You're dealing with millions of people everyday, and it's very easy for something to be misinterpreted, so my intention is always, regardless of what the show is --whether it's about sibling rivalry or wife battering or children of divorce -- for people to see within each show that you are responsible for your life, that although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph.
  Oprah Winfrey Quotes
• Were there any books that you could remember reading when you were a kid that you loved or that influenced you?
  Oprah Winfrey Quotes
• I feel very blessed. You know, as a kid, when I was growing up, especially in the third and fourth grade, I always wanted to be a minister and preach and be a missionary. And then for a while, after Mrs. Duncan's fourth grade class, I wanted to be a fourth grade teacher. And I think, in many ways, that I have been able to fulfill all of that.
