My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.
My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.'
My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education.
I wouldn't say I had a hard childhood because my mom always made sure we was Gucci, you know what I mean. Growing up, she made sure we ain't have to want for nothing. She did what she had to do; she made her money, and we was always good.
I sailed through my childhood with a complete lack of any drama.
My parents have been married 50-some years, and I've never heard them fight. I got the chance to attend great universities and medical school.
I'm incredibly boring; I had a very happy childhood. I never starved, nor did I have a silver spoon in my mouth. I'm one of those terribly middle-of-the-road, British middle class, South London gents.
Cultures need stable families to raise stable children.
I always had a strong support system. My parents always supported the stuff that I did.
The life of a WWE superstar is awesome, but I want my kids to have a life balanced by more traditional ideas about what our life and our country used to be. And still can be if we want it to be.
My parents are a big help, and they're always making sure I have a normal life and my life isn't all just about acting and stuff.
I've always been a happy-go-lucky person. I haven't got any dark tales, I didn't draw on my own past, I'm from a very normal stable background and had an amazing childhood, and I haven't got any complaints really.
When children do not have three square meals a day, a proper education, and at least one adult who they know loves and is committed to them, it's very unlikely they will grow up to be productive citizens of the world.
I had a very special family life. My mother and father made sure when we were home, we were part of the family, not a TV star. And the other thing: my father was fully employed while I was doing the series.
[I had ] uneventful, though isolated childhood. Good, kind, stable parents.
My mother and father are still together after forty something years. I lived in one place till I was 6. I lived in another place from when I was 6 till I was 17.
My siblings and I had a loving but very chaotic and muddled childhood, and as a result we have sought out lives that are consistent and stable, domestic and happy.
I'm thankful I don't have parents that I feel I need to get their attention. They've always been there for me.
Very good training to just be a person is growing up in Canada. People say a lot of things about Canada, like that it's boring, but if you look around the world, you can praise boring. It's a very civilized place to grow up. I'm very proud of it.
I had great schooling, and my parents were always in front of me, or next to me, or behind me, making sure I had whatever I needed.
We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.
My parents are very even-keeled. You know, just kind of steady as she goes.
My mom's a lawyer. She was part of the group that wrote the bar exam. My father is a dentist. They've always worked.
The richest inheritance any child can have is a stable, loving, disciplined family life.
My mother was very good about giving us a life that was, let's say, as normal as it could be, not a crazy jetting life at all. That's been helpful. It's given me the drive to be someone in the world rather than just sitting around.
