Parents, however old they and we may grow to be, serve among other things to shield us from a sense of our doom. As long as they are around, we can avoid the fact of our mortality; we can still be innocent children.

Most of us become parents long before we have stopped being children.

None of us as parents brought up our children to be this way, ... We all have some turn out to be bad apples ... As one parent to another, I have a lot of compassion for him.

I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.

I was an only child. I've known only children. From this experience, I do believe that the children should outnumber the parents.

The kids have grown up seeing us play together. I think that children naturally want to be with their parents. . . . They liked practicing because it was their time with their father and mother.
