My father came from a Quaker family. His father was a professional artist who did portraits - very traditional, a lot of religious subjects.
As the first member of my immediate family to graduate from college, I understand the importance access to high quality education plays in preparing our children to learn and compete in a competitive, global workforce.
It's not easy for the average family to ensure that their child receives a quality education. And the federal government is not making it any easier.
I don't think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.
I make sure that I spend quality time with my family.
I remember watching 'Quantum Leap' when I was a kid with my family, so I think that's fun and nostalgic.
I live in a high rise with my family part of the year in New York and I don't know three quarters of the people in the building. We live in the same square-footage and I wouldn't know who they were.
They're trying to kill me before I'm dead. I come to Quebec to spend some time with my family and they say I'm dead.
I am an English-speaking Canadian, but my entire family - Russian exiles and the Canadians they married - is buried in Quebec, and if Quebec were to separate, I would feel I had been cut in two.
When I was younger, I was testing myself and questioning everything, but now it's less about that and more about these are the years of my life with my family.
I can have everything I love at the same time. I can have my family, I can have my friends, and I can have my quiet life, which I also like. I can have my football, and I can have everything together, and I don't need to give up one to be better than what I am.
I have my life on the field, but when I finish that, I want a quiet life with my family.
I don't seek the limelight. I'm perfectly happy with a quiet life and spending time with my family, but I deserve recognition.
I come from a big, loud family, and I'm the quieter one. Performing is something I have to switch on. I've heard I get real sassy onstage, which I'm not in real life! It's fun to be that person for an hour a night.
A king is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat.
My appearances are almost theatrical performances. I bring items for the children to see, such as photographs and actual piece of meteorite, a family quilt, sometimes spectacles, sometimes clothing, so that they can understand what I write about is family stories based in fact.
I tell residents, if you gave me two patients with identical problems, and one of them had family at the bedside with a lot of laughter, plus photos and a quilt from home, and next door was another patient who was alone every time I came by - I'm going to be very nervous about the isolated patient's mental status.
I love anything paneer! Our family favorite, however, is 'Dal Dhokli,' a quintessential Gujarati dish of bread dumplings and lentil soup. That's the big meal of the week typically prepared by my mother on Sundays.
Unions have been under attack for quite some time, and I think a lot of the jobs that we need to create in this country need to be union jobs. People want to be able to get a job that they can rely on to feed their family and pay their bills.
I miss my 'Facts of Life' family. But I had been preparing myself to leave the show for some time before we called it quits.
