If you're a young couple when you start out and are both working, trying to raise children, that is tough.
America has the best athletic programs. Even when the Soviet Union existed, that was Mickey Mouse compared to the U.S.
How many reality shows can you watch? They're so obviously phony.
To support my brothers and me, my mother got a job so menial that we never discussed it.
To establish personal relationships with the people you work with is stupid, because you never know when the winds will change. I try not to get too close to people.
If both parents must work, I think it is more important that the mother has proximity to the child to therefore establish a childcare situation at the big corporations not once a day, but many times a day.
I'm not so convinced that what we're doing is right. In other words, where both members have to work so hard to scratch out a living. That is tragic.
That's the biggest shame there is, that L.A. doesn't have a team. I was a big fan of the L.A. Rams, and when they left, I lost interest. Then there was the Raiders, and they left. How they can't have a football team in the biggest market in the world is beyond me.
Fasten your seatbelts because you will go through tough times. Don't say that things are difficult. Stick it out as much as you can.
I have a feeling that being in love sometimes means the projection of your desires onto another person. The important thing is that you like the other person, respect the other person and want to raise children with the other person.
I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says.
Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside you say, Why are they still married?
Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.
Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.
