I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family passionate relationships dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

Do it no matter what. If you believe in it it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion an honest passion just do it.

It all starts with the script: it's not worth taking myself away from my family if I don't have something I'm really passionate about.

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family that we are made for togetherness for goodness and for compassion.

Basketball is my passion I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That's what's important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.

My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity her compassion her intelligence reflected in my daughters.

In search of a complete education with the ideals of trust faith understanding and compassion many families are turning to the structure discipline and academic standards of Catholic schools.

I met the president when he was president-elect at a meeting in Austin. He spoke of his faith. He spoke of his desire for a compassionate conservatism for a faith-based initiative that would do something for poor people.

I haven't lost faith in human nature and I haven't decided to be less compassionate to strangers.
