In five years time I do like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family, definitely sooner rather than later. I do like to have finished my second album too, maybe even my third. I do like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families.

Family's first, and that is what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

I am thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support.

Over the last couple of years, I have really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it.

It is time to return to core values, time to get back to basics , to self-discipline and respect for the law, to consideration for the others, to accepting responsibility for yourself and your family - and not shuffling it off on other people and the state.

There is a bond among a kitchen staff, I think. You spend more time with your chef in the kitchen than you do with your own family.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That is what happiness is.

The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock, he must leave his family.

The only people that you really have, that I learned, are your family, because they love you no matter what.

When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.

Women are, in my view, natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life, through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life, they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.

One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That is the way we live.

Protecting the institution of marriage safeguards, I believe, the American family.

I know I am talented, but I was not put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it is not where it begins and ends.

The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.

I came from a poor family, so working and going to school at the same time was natural. It taught me multi-tasking, although we did not call it that back then. I learned I could never be idle, I need to be doing many things at once.

Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.

The greenest home is the one you do not build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that is already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels do not want.
