I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit beauty intelligence the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.

I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family and my children brought me back some of that spirit.

A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.

My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

I can't believe the pro-choicers attitude toward unborn children-to me it's the ultimate liberal cause to defend those without a voice.

After working for years in Hollywood where the actors have taken over it was a real relief to get down there and not only have some children but also have some actors that had no attitude.

I fell in love with Erica Kane the summer before my freshman year of high school. Like all red-blooded teen American boys I'd come home from water polo practice and eat a box of Entenmann's Pop'Ems donut holes in front of the TV while obsessively fawning over 'All My Children' and Erica her clothes and her narcissistic attitude.

Raising children is a creative endeavor an art rather than a science.
