I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

It's a great mistake I think to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.

Growing hemp as nature designed it is vital to our urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the survival of our planet.

When I was growing up Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

Part of growing up is just taking what you learn from that and moving on and not taking it to heart.

By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests I forget to worry.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

You know I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor.
