The Teenage Cancer Trust does incredible work supporting and caring for teenagers and young adults with cancer and it's a cause that is really close to me and my family.

To get a child's trust - you may know or not - is a very hard thing to do. They're so used to not believing adults - because adults tell tales and lies all the time.

I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in with kids and adults they are often on two different universes.

Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world who are probably not so sure themselves.

When you're a child no matter if you're doing show business or sports or school or anything you just want to make the adults happy.

What is missing from today's dialogue is the effect autism is having on families our society and what the unknown factors are. The 300lb. gorilla in the room is that our children with autism today will soon become adults with autism.

Without intervention today the cost of care for adults with autism will be significantly greater and the burden will no longer lie with the parents but on our entire society.

Even though I'm not with their mother it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.

My brother and I had a really privileged relationship with my parents... They treated us like adults.

In the melting pot that is America inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women young adults or minorities alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.
